Please join us for our annual salmon carcass transplant.
Next Saturday, 16 March 2024, at 10:00 am at the Outdoor classroom / Douglas Creek Bridge.
The Howard English Hatchery at Goldstream has previously provided us with chum carcasses. This year, they will be bringing Coho salmon. The presentations will explain the switch. The event proceeds rain or shine (the salmon don’t care!). Also, with the warmer weather, the carcasses should be nice and slimy, so leave that lovely new winter coat at home!
This is a combination of educational and fun events with environmental benefits. It’s a family event, and children are most welcome, but for safety reasons, each child must be accompanied/supervised by a responsible parent or guardian.
See you on Saturday!
