Seeds to Salmon

Seeds to Salmon is an outdoor learning opportunity for highschoolers that teaches about the interdependency of salmon and healthy watersheds and increases production of native plants by engaging students in hands-on plant propagation. Participating classes engage in 12 (1 hour) lessons led by LCFEG staff throughout the course of the school year. These classes agree to propagate and care for 250 native seedlings/cuttings that will be grown to maturity prior to being planted in salmon habitat areas. The curriculum is divided into fall and spring terms with a winter break that allows students time to conduct maintenance on any plants that germinated between fall and spring season.  The standard lessons include: Intro to PNW Native Trees & Stratification, Intro to PNW Native Shrubs & Cuttings, Intro into Herbaceous Wetland Species & Seed Planting, Invasive Species & Pest and Pathogens, Native Plant Identification, Professions in Ecology/Landscape Management, PNW Native Annuals & Seed Scarification, and Up-potting & Dividing Seedlings.
