Last Call for the Elwha Camping Trip
Just a few spots remain for this amazing late summer field trip. Join us September 13-14 to learn about the historic fight to remove two dams from the Elwha River and the ongoing efforts to bring salmon back.
We will be joined by Vanessa Castle—a member of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe—and John Gussman—co-director of the documentary Return to the River—for walking tours exploring the history of the river and its people. Expect to see Chinook and Pink Salmon, to be inspired by spectacular views and local history, and to relax beside the campfire with your fellow science writers.
