Abstract

Some of my main objectives from the start of this position were to gain leadership skills in environmental education, learn more about salmon ecology, and apply the knowledge gained in my WWU Environmental Science courses to this internship. In addition to these, I wanted to speak effectively to students about ecology and conservation and gain more knowledge on local environmental issues by working with an organization that strives to support the restoration of salmon habitats in Washington. This position allowed me to meet my learning objectives by giving me an opportunity to lead lessons and develop curriculum in environmental education, allowing me to further my knowledge on local environmental systems and salmon habitat and ecology, and giving me the chance to supplement the daily curriculum with information I had learned from the classes I’ve taken.
