Last Friday we embarked on a day long journey to visit the spawning salmon at Eagle Creek in the Columbia River Gorge and also visited the Cascade Fish Hatchery. We saw salmon in two different habitats, learned lots and enjoyed the beautiful fall weather. Thanks to everyone who joined us. It was an amazing day!
After we arrived we met with our groups to read the Yakima tribe's folktale of Old Man Rattlesnake and the Salmon People.
Then we made our way to the creek to observe the salmon in their natural habitat.
Next, we visited the Cascade Hatchery and got to learn about how they create a healthy living environment for the salmon eggs and fry before letting them go. We even got to feed the fish.
After lunch we took some data collection of the natural habitat before loading the bus to return to SIA in time for the annual Harvest Festival. :)
