SUMMARY:2025 Salmon Survey Orientation
DESCRIPTION:This event is full and registration is closed!\nJohnson Creek is the only salmon bearing tributary in Eastern Portland! JCWC documents the distribution of salmon species and spawning activity throughout the watershed to inform restoration efforts and to share with our scientific partner organizations. \nSalmon are integral to the Pacific Northwest and to Johnson Creek. These amazing fish migrate from their natal streams\, to the ocean\, and back again to spawn. They also play important roles in the cultures and histories of Native Nations to this area. Since 2011\, JCWC volunteers have been studying the creek for Coho and Chinook salmon and their nests\, which are called redds. Join us this year for surveys! \nThe surveys are designed for all levels of mobility through in stream\, bank\, and stationary surveys. In stream surveys include suiting up in waders and life jackets and wading through Johnson Creek during winter flows looking for live salmon\, carcasses\, and nests. Surveys usually take about 3 hours and are scheduled in your own time. You will be surveying with a team so feel free to sign-up your own or we’ll team you up with other surveyors! \nThese surveys are in high demand please email sara@jcwc.org if you can no longer participate.  \nWhen: Orientation – Saturday\, October 18th\, 10am-1:30pm\, with an hour break for lunch and travel.  \n  \nSurvey Season – Surveyors will conduct 2-3 surveys from mid-October to mid-November \n  \nWhere: Zoom Orientation – October 18th\, 10am-11:30am\, Zoom link emailed to you after registration \n  \nOutdoor Orientation and Gear Pick-up – October 18th\, 12:30pm-1:30pm\, Johnson Creek Park (address emailed after orientation)  \n  \nSurvey Season: Surveys this year will take place ONLY in Crystal Springs in inner SE Portland.  \n  \nBoth indoor and outdoor orientation are required to participate \n  \nTime commitment: Orientation – 3.5 hours \n  \nSurvey Season – Sign-up for 2-3 surveys.
