DESCRIPTION

Whale Scout is engaged in a riparian restoration project along the Sammamish River at the former Wayne Golf Course in Bothell. This proposal aims to engage diverse students in equitable job training beyond completion of our spring/summer internship program through planting season. It will facilitate applied student projects by college seniors at UW Bothell. Working collaboratively, students will learn restoration design through plant staging and leading volunteers in planting, water quality and vegetation monitoring, tree canopy coverage, etc., in partnership with UW professors. Students will help plant 3,452 native trees/shrubs along 887 linear feet of shoreline and expanding the current project footprint, protecting mature trees directly on the riverbanks from smothering weeds. This improves habitat for Chinook salmon, lowers water temperatures and increases cover and food-web inputs. Other outcomes include more equitable opportunities for students to pursue environmental careers.
