The watershed education program was first
initiated by
a Forks of Salmon teacher in 1993. The aim was to study the
local plants, animals, and culture within the local area with an
emphasis on current conditions in the watershed. The knowledge of
specialists, resource
professionals, and community members was integrated into the curriculum
to provide further expertise into specific subjects. In 1998, the
CA. Fish & Game began supporting the school program through the
non-profit organization the Salmon
River Restoration Council (SRRC). This year, the program is
supported by grants to the SRRC from the California Department of Fish
and Game, and the Resource Advisory Council of the Klamath Task Force.
Junction
Elementary School, another local school in the watershed, coordinates with Forks
School in many events including the annual Watershed Fair in May.
All of the Watershed Education activities meet California educational
standards. Guest presentations, fieldtrips, and classroom studies
are planned during a teachers' summer meeting. Several
curriculum meetings are held throughout the year to continue planning
upcoming activities.
