Learn how to help save local streams
Get wet.
Count bugs.
Learn how to save salmon in a stream near you.
The Adopt-a-Stream Foundation is offering field training on keeping streams in Snohomish County from getting so polluted that they cannot support salmon and the bugs they feed on.
The training is Sept. 9 and 11, but the Everett-based foundation needs those who want to attend the $100 session to sign up now. The fee includes a copy of the foundation’s “Streamkeeper’s Field Guide.”
The training starts with an evening of classroom learning and is followed by an all-day session in the field.
Call 425-316-8592 to register for one of the 20 spots.
Correction
* The correct phone number for Daggers Body Piercing and State Street Tattoo in Marysville is 360-658-4890. The wrong number was given in a donation drive story that appeared on Page B2 in Wednesday’s Community Spotlight.
* The name of murder victim Patty Berry was misspelled in Julie Muhlstein’s column on Page B1 Wednesday about the Compassionate Friends support group’s request for volunteers.
