Would you like to play a bigger role in protecting our region’s salmon?
The Salmon Watcher Program is inviting you to take part in its annual effort to collect information about the the salmon spawning in our creeks, and is even bringing a class on how to become a Salmon Watcher to our doorstep at Northgate Community Center, 10510 Fifth Ave. N.E.
The class, from 7-9 p.m. Sept. 29, will train volunteers to collect important information about returning salmon in creeks in and around Seattle. As a volunteer, you will spend 15 minutes twice a week, from September through December, watching for fish on your assigned creek site.
The information helps local jurisdictions know where salmon are spawning in our streams, and sometimes where barriers exist to salmon migration. Volunteers act as our “eyes and ears” in the watersheds and give us a heads up when things go awry in our neighborhood creeks.
