Cascadia College and UW Bothell’s joint campus hosts one of the largest wetland restoration projects on the west coast and is managed entirely pesticide free to support wildlife and climate action.
Faculty members Dr. Jeff Jensen and Midori Sakura will speak about salmon ecology, physiology, and conservation with emphasis on current research.
There will be tours of the campus wetland and other family-friendly activities. Attendees can connect with local wildlife and conservation groups and learn about ways to support local salmon.
“We hope to be able to welcome the community to our sustainable campus right here in both, by hosting more wildlife focused events,” said Stephan Classen, Assistant Director of Sustainability at Cascadia College,
“Salmon are so important, we are also working to feature local tribes and conservation groups, connecting in a variety of ways!”
