Naturalists needed on Cedar River

Published 6:10 pm Thursday, August 20, 2015

Share your community treasure and become a volunteer naturalist on the Cedar River. Learn about one of the world’s amazing wildlife migrations, which runs through the heart of Seattle, Renton and up into Maple Valley.

Naturalists will receive 20 hours of training from fish and watershed experts in September. Then they’ll spend three weekend days along the river, talking to the public about the spawning salmon and the natural and human history of the Cedar River Watershed.

Contact Dani Kendall at salmonjourney@seattleaquarium.org or call (206) 792-5851 to sign up. Training starts Sept. 10.

Sponsors include the Seattle Aquarium, Seattle Public Utilities, King County Flood Control District, City of Renton, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the WRIA8 Salmon Recovery Council.
