Welcome to Salmon Watch! This interactive, outdoors-based program provides 4th-8th graders in Benton County with a unique experience that we hope they will never forget.

Salmon Watch is a FREE experiential field trip program that teaches youth about salmon and healthy watersheds.  Similar Salmon Watch programs happen all over the Pacific Northwest and are coordinated by various local organizations in partnership with schools and volunteers.

Linn and Benton Salmon Watch programs are coordinated by a committee representing the Calapooia Watershed Council, South Santiam Watershed Council, Benton Soil and Water Conservation District, Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, Siuslaw National Forest, and a leadership cohort of retired teachers and other community experts.
