Abstract

During the Fall 2023 quarter, my internship focused mostly on the Salmon in the Classroom program, where elementary grade students learn about salmon and their life cycle before raising their own Coho eggs and releasing them as fry. This program runs over the course of most of the school year and ends in March with salmon release field trips. This program, more than anything, strives to create positive outdoor memories for the students that hopefully stay with them as they continue to grow older. Another main goal of this program is to introduce the idea of salmon and their life cycle to the students so that it might spark interest. The big picture goal of every educational program through SFEG is to spark the next generation of salmon-aware community members, so that as generations grow up salmon will still be present in our streams.
