Stewardship Workshops
In partnership with other agencies and organizations, we offer several workshops
for adults throughout the year. At these workshops volunteers learn about stream
restoration and ways to they can help restore salmon to healthy populations.
Participants learn to monitor physical and biological components of aquatic
ecosystems to help determine their ability to support anadromous fish,
or simply learn about things
you can do at home to make your backyard stream more "salmon-friendly." Click here for more information.

WILD Salmon Education Trunk
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has put together a Wild
Salmon Education Trunk for use by educators and organizations
involved in salmon habitat restoration. Included in this trunk are
educational materials for all ages and grade levels.
Topics include
salmon biology, habitat requirements, factors affecting salmon
populations and conservation, habitat restoration, and economic, ecological,
and cultural values of salmon. Resources include a variety of
videos, samples of salmon eggs, curriculum guides and project ideas,
among many others. Educators may check out the trunk for up to one
month at a time and incorporate any part of it into existing curriculum.
