The Salmon in the Classroom program at Clear Creek in Silverdale needs volunteers to staff field stations at the elementary school salmon release field trips in March. Volunteers will be trained for each of the four stations that students rotate through at the field trip including water quality, stream bugs, tree planting, and salmon release.

The Salmon in the Classroom project was started over 20 years ago by the Central Kitsap Kiwanis Club. It is now a partnership with the Clear Creek Task Force, Silverdale Kiwanis Club, Clean Water Kitsap, Kitsap Public Health District, Kitsap Public Utility District, United Van Lines, Suquamish Tribe, Air Management Solutions and over 30 local classrooms with the shared goal of enhancing the salmon population in Clear Creek and educating students on the importance of ecosystems.

Orientation is Tuesday, Feb. 10 5:45-7 p.m. at the Clear Creek Interpretive Center, 9641 Levin Road NW, Silverdale. Training includes dinner, program overview, station information and field trip sign-up. RSVP to the Clear Creek Task Force, clearcreektrail@yahoo.com or call 360-434-7665.
