Watershed Education Program

Educating students about ways to get involved in their watershed is essential to the future of restoration in the Mid Klamath. MKWC's education programs in local schools introduce youth to important restoration issues by linking students with local experts and biologists to participate in hands on restoration projects that benefit our watershed. With funding from the US Fish and Wildlife Service students participate in local ecology and restoration raft trips, engage in high quality classroom curriculum, and get out “into the field” to learn about water quality sampling, creek mouth enhancement, juvenile fish identification, riparian planting, noxious weed removal, fire ecology and organic farming.

A Collaborative Process

Creek mouth enhancement on a MKWC youth raft trip.
Local students participate in a creek mouth enhancement project on Sandy Bar Creek.

Community volunteers, Karuk Tribe, US Forest Service, Salmon River Restoration Council, California Department of Fish and Game, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and Americorps Watershed Stewards Project cooperate with MKWC to provide an extensive watershed education program throughout the Mid Klamath. Listed below are some of the important events MKWC has participated in.
