We are proud to announce that the Task Force was one of just three non-profits
that received state funding to support out environmental education program!

The Task Force’s education programs allow students of all ages to learn about ecology and experience environmental research.
Our programs are deeply aligned with state science standards and many are inquiry-based. Also, programs can be tailored to specific classroom needs.
All programs are free-of-charge, and funding for
buses can often be provided.
We offer both classroom and field-based learning opportunities, for all grades, on a variety of environmental topics. These include the biology of salmon, plants and invertebrates, investigating tree and stream interactions, general ecology, and watersheds.
All lessons are hands-on and minds-on.
Hands-on Approach to Science:
With the Task Force, students learn about environmental science by doing it. They participate in authentic salmon restoration activities, such as planting streamside trees. They design and conduct experiments, including field investigations at their restoration site. They record observations of fish and wildlife at nearby streams, create keys to local plants, test how trees affect erosion, or analyze water quality using stream bugs. For all ages of students and levels of interest, our programs bring ecology home.

Restoration Education For Young Stewards - a year-long program
Salmon Trunk
The Task Force would like to thank 90.7 KSER Independent Public Radio in Everett, and its wonderful listeners for donating 22 trees for salmon habitat restoration through its recent fundraiser! These trees will be planted along a Snohomish County stream or river as part of the Task Force's local school watershed education program.
