The objective of this field study opportunity is to enhance student learning on the salmon lifecycle and respect and connection with nature. students will not be graded, and it will not impact the grade of any students who are not in attendance.

This time of year is notorious for eagle viewing in the region as salmon are spawning in the rivers.

Details:

We will depart SRT at 8:30am and travel in school van and or staff personal vehicle to Chehalis River fish hatchery, surrounding areas and Kilby Park on the Harrison River.

Students should pack food for lunch, but we will also be stopping in Deroche where they can pick up food for lunch.

Students should prepare to spend 4-5 hours in the elements, so please check daily weather foercast and prepare for the day with appropriate clothing and footwear. There will be some short hikes.

Return time to SRT will be between 2pm and 3pm allowing students time to attend conferences in the afternoon/evening.
