Happy birthday to approximately 4,500 chinook salmon! ๐ŸŽ‚

The eggs we delivered earlier this month were hatching throughout the week last week, bringing a lot of excitement to the classrooms hosting our thirty Salmon in School aquariums. Baby salmon at this stage are called alevin (pronounced AL-uh-vin), and they don't need to eat until their yolk sacs (those orange blobs you see here) are fully absorbed. Thank you to Drew Trogstad-Isaacson, director of the Water & Environment Center at Walla Walla Community College, for these great photos!

On the schedule for our upcoming Wild & Scenic Film Festival event are two films from Wild Hope, an inspiring new series from Wild & Scenic Film Festival partner HHMI Tangled Bank Studios. On October 29, we'll be screening both "The Great Ocean Cleanup," about efforts to stop plastic pollution from entering the ocean, and "Reclaiming Bear River," about indigenous efforts to restore the site of a historic massacre. We hope you'll join us!

Our education staff have been spreading salmon joy this month! When we visit pre-K, kindergarten, and early elementary classes, our lessons look a bit different. For these students, we start the school year by reading a picture book about the salmon life cycle and then giving students time to color "salmon hats" and pretend to swim around the classroom. Seeing their faces light up when they put on their new headgear is so much fun!

More progress on our Bridge to Bridge project on the Walla Walla River! In these photos, you can see our contractor installing large wood structures in the floodplain. These help create the complex underwater environment that salmon and other fish need, providing cover and redirecting heavy flows into slower pools. This means more beneficial migration and rearing habitat for native fish!

After a month of release events saying goodbye to the fish raised in Salmon in School, we also said farewell to Sara Gabriel.

After three years as our Environmental Educator, teaching thousands of students and releasing thousands of fish, she's heading to grad school to continue her path as an educator.

We will miss her creativity and enthusiasm, as captured in these photos.

Best of luck to you Sara!
