During the Salmon Watch Exploring Rivers program you will uncover the
world of salmon, invasive species, conservation, and ecology through
an interactive trip into a natural area in the local watershed.
Explore and discover a freshwater ecosystem that is located close to
where we all live.You will start with an interactive lesson on
invasive species, learning about how they impact our watersheds and
salmon. In the afternoon you will participate in service work related
to the invasive species you learned about in the morning! The
activities are designed to inspire your curiosity, let you experiment
with scientific skills and methodology, and embolden you to be a
leader in environmental stewardship.
