All day guided rafting trip on the upper Skagit River. Transportation will be provided.

Rain and cold is almost guaranteed. Plan to get splashed and wet!! Dress accordingly:
• Head to toe raingear.
• Rubber boots or booties (bring knee boots or hip waders if you have them).
• Wool socks.
• Fleece and long underwear.
• Waterproof gloves.
• Warm head covering (hood or beanie).

** Bring a change of clothes to keep in the vans. You'll be much more comfortable in dry duds on the way home.**

Stream Sampling Techniques

23 April 2008
12 pm--6 pm

We will learn & practice standard stream survey protocols and equipment use, including channel, habitat, LWD and riparian forest surveys. We will also learn to use electrofishing and invertebrate sampling gear. Rain and cold is likely- dress appropriately (see list above).

Streams and Rivers of the Olympic Peninsula

Queets & SF Hoh Rivers
8-10 May 2008
11 am Friday--7 pm Sunday

Extended weekend field trip to explore rivers under a variety of management regimes (DNR trust lands, Olympic National Forest, Olympic National Park). We will be camping 2 nights in primitive campgrounds. You will be responsible for your own food and water. We will bring two carboys of water for general use, but you should have enough drinking water for 3 full days.

We will work together to make sure everyone has enough gear to go around. However, if you can contribute camping and cooking gear it will be very helpful.

See list above for appropriate clothes and footwear.

Expect rain (hey, it's the rainforest!) & cool temperatures. Bring a camera- we will see lots of wildlife and incredible scenery.

Transportation is provided, but feel free to drive your own vehicle.
