Join us Saturday, June 4, 10am-2pm for a free workshop to survey vegetation at restoration sites. This workshop will be an introduction to identifying native and noxious plants, assessing plant health, and determining coverage in riparian planting projects. Updates on the status of these plants help us determine the most effective practices for riparian revegetation projects. After training, volunteers will sign up to do a day of monitoring on at least one restoration planting site with SFEG staff and interns.
Register by June 1: via email or 360-336-0172

Field Notes: Winning Student Salmon Art!
From the FieldIn December 2015 three schools participated in an optional art project where the students created collages out of magazines donated from local libraries. The goal was for SFEG to collectively choose 4-6 of the most creative collages and create notecards with them. Well, the collages were so impressive we couldn’t choose just 4-6 so we decided to pick the top four from each of the schools. So here are the winning collages (in no particular order)!!! Notecards coming soon!
