And that's a wrap on our 2021 YESS season! We had a blast working with this phenomenal hard working crew.

08/01/2021

YESS the last two weeks have been busy! The crew spent one week on the Salmon River snorkel counting salmonids and another week cleaning up Klamath National Forest trails and campgrounds. We met a lot of amazing folks, learned a lot, and hiked to some of the most beautiful places while improving trails. Proud of this crew! Big thanks to the wonderful people at the Salmon River Restoration Council and the Forest Service for hosting us these past two weeks.

The YESS crew is off to the Salmon River to participate in the annual Spring Chinook Cooperative Dives but before they left, they contributed to the SRWC’s annual Salmon Mountain Clean Up Day and capped their day off in the Etna Community Garden.

This past week the YESS crew learned a lot about Salmon River restoration projects from the Salmon River Restoration Council. The crew participated in invasive w**d removal, fish passage/protection projects, and learned to snorkel while identifying fish species in the Salmon River. Big thanks to the Salmon River Restoration Council for a truly lovely week!

The YESS crew had the great fortune to meet Rachel Smith, the new Forest Supervisor for the Klamath National Forest. Rachel handed the YESS crew their first paychecks! Really neat considering the KNF funds our awesome program. Thank you, Rachel and KNF!

Every YESS crew develops its own personality and we have to say, this crew is pretty stinking fun! They are respectful, hardworking and talk about the funniest stuff. It is such a pleasure sharing our work with this group of young people. This week has a mountain meadow emphasis. Working in Big Meadows and Meeks Meadow, back to Big Meadows tomorrow. A huge thank you again to our funders- USFS- Klamath National Forest, Coastal Conservancy, Bureau of Reclamation and Etna Police Activities League!
