2025 Spawner Survey Workshop
Interested in becoming a Spawner Survey Volunteer this fall/winter or learning about what it takes?
Join our Spawner Survey Workshop to learn protocol for identifying and documenting spawning salmon at SFEG restoration sites. These data help SFEG measure project success, and track salmon recovery. Volunteers will need to be able to commit to walking their assigned stream reaches every week (7-10 days) from October – January.
