Educational
projects and presentations are designed to increase public awareness
and get the community excited about saving our salmon resources.
SFEG visits schools, community groups and service clubs to deliver
educational presentations and teach the community about salmon.
We partner with many organizations including North Cascades Institute
(NCI) to deliver the Skagit Watershed Education Project to classrooms,
sponsor stream clean-ups, and arrange service projects for students
of all ages. We are available for speaking engagements including
interactive presentations to educate community members about watersheds
and salmon restoration. |

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.

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. At these workshops, you can 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."
