Learn more about Oregon's Molalla River and the fish that call it home.

Hosted by our friends at the Molalla River Alliance

This dynamic, hands-on and interactive program will give participants an overview of the Molalla River watershed, focusing on salmon spawning and water quality issues. The fall is the premiere opportunity to view this wondrous event.

Participants will travel by bus to visit various sites along the Molalla River corridor. At least two will be on the main river, and one will be to a headwater stream. We will view spawning activity where present at these sites.

Participants will also have an opportunity to measure and collect information on water quality (such as temperature and turbidity). We will explain the connections between water quality and the importance of a healthy watershed for salmon and other species. Please join us for a fun and educational day along the Molalla River!

When: Saturday, Sept. 24th, Rain or Shine!
Time: 8:45 am - 3:00 pm
Where to Meet: Bus transportation will be provided from downtown Molalla
What to Bring: You are encouraged to bring your camera. We will have a lunch stop along the river, so please bring a sack lunch.
What to Wear: Weather can be variable in the Fall, so you are encouraged to dress appropriately. You are strongly encouraged to bring rubber boots and/or waders
Dogs: We love dogs, however, they are not allowed on the field trips
