Workshop 1: The Life & Times of Skeena Salmon

Students learn about the unique life cycle of Skeena Salmon and discover what salmon needs to survive and what makes a healthy salmon habitat. Students also experience the obstacles salmon face during their migration through interactive activities

Workshop 2: Healthy Watershed, Healthy Salmon

Part 1, Classroom:

Students will learn about water quality testing and aquatic macroinvertebrate surveys in a classroom or schoolyard setting

Part 2, Land-based:

Explore Your Watershed: Students take part in a classroom session and a full-day field trip to increase their knowledge and awareness of watersheds and water-related issues in their communities. Student Action Projects are an encouraged outcome to connect with community-based water groups and water stewardship opportunities in the community, providing hands-on, practical ways to look after our precious water resources

Workshop 3: Climate Change & Skeena Salmon

Students will learn how climate change is currently impacting the Skeena Watershed and its salmon, including changing conditions in our coastal waters and the North Pacific. Students will also explore and discuss what we might see in future years and how we can adapt and give our salmon a chance.

Workshop 4: Stream Explorations (Outdoor Field Experience at Local Water Body – May and June)

Students will participate in an education experience at a local river or stream and will collect and analyze information on water quality and aquatic insects. Pre-and post workshops and activities will complement their outdoor experience.
