Volunteers are needed to assist with restoring spawning habitat for endangered Lake Ozette sockeye! On July 16 – 18, we will be removing vegetation on the lakeshore of Olsen’s Beach to make way for natural processes and wave action to remove fine sediments and increase the availability of high-quality spawning gravel for beach spawning fish. Olsen’s Beach is only accessible via boat, so all volunteers will be transported across the lake after orientation, and then back to the boat launch at the end of the day. Please bring a lunch, snacks, water, and appropriate clothing and footwear for outdoor work.

We will have tools to borrow, but please consider bringing a favorite weeding or gardening tool. This is a great opportunity to do satisfying restoration work where our impact is immediately visible. As a bonus, Lake Ozette is a beautiful place to work!

If you’re interested in joining (for one day or all three) or have questions, please email liz@coastsalmonpartnership.org to register. If you have a boat and are willing to operate it to transport volunteers, please include this in your email. 

This ½-day virtual workshop will bring together experts to present the latest science, tools, and innovative solutions for improving fish passage at tide gates. An afternoon panel discussion will follow speaker presentations to discuss this important topic. This workshop is part of the DFO-PSF-GSRO Knowledge Exchange series. A detailed agenda will be available soon…
