Salmon Watch Field Trips: Each participating class takes an all-day field trip in September, October or November to one of several beautiful salmon spawning sites in Mt. Hood National Forest, Columbia River Gorge or Mid-Coast Range. Four volunteer educators accompany each field trip (avg. 8:1 instructor-student ratio) to engage students in the following study areas:
- Salmon Biology
- Macroinvertebrate Identification
- Water Quality Monitoring
- Riparian Zone Observation
No previous experience or knowledge related to salmon conservation is required!
We do require that all new volunteer educators attend one half-day training session prior to accompanying a field trip. On the application form you can select a training on August 13th or September 10th, to be held at Dabney State Recreation Area on the Sandy River (approx. 13 miles south of I-84/Troutdale).

Mission Statement
To provide experiential education and encounters with Pacific wild salmon to connect students and adults with nature and empower community engagement.
Description
World Salmon Council manages the award-winning Salmon Watch environmental education program in the greater Portland metro and Columbia River Gorge regions. Using salmon as the focal point, Salmon Watch provides comprehensive, multidisciplinary education in the classroom, field study and in-stream observation, and community service learning projects.
For the 2017-18 school year, Salmon Watch will engage more than 1,500 middle and high schools, including providing 40+ field trips.
If we want our youth to have scientific and environmental literacy, value their natural heritage, and make informed decisions about their communities as they become adults, we must give them opportunities to understand and relate to the natural world on a personal level.
