Become a Salish Sea Steward

Do you love our Skagit County bays and beaches?  Do you love science and learning about the Salish Sea and all the critters and plants that live here? Do you want to make a difference protecting and restoring these wonders?

 Then We Are The Program for YOU!

The Salish Sea Stewards Program offers 40 hours of FREE citizen science training taught by local experts. No experience necessary! In return, participants pledge to commit 40 hours of volunteer service in 1 year. 

Learn from many local experts on a variety of topics impacting the Salish Sea including intertidal habitats, forage fish, climate change, marine mammals, coastal processes, and more!  The training includes lectures and hands-on fieldwork. Meet new friends and learn about the different volunteer opportunities to help make a difference in Skagit County.

Training starts March 10 -May 12, 2020.  Classes will mostly be held Tuesdays from 1:00pm - 5:00pm, at Padilla Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve.  Space is limited, so don't wait! Click here for an application.
