Late autumn is the best time of year to look for salmon and the marine mammals who eat them, and we will be thinking all about the important role salmon play in the entire northwest ecosystem. Come ready to get Seal-y and have a blast exploring a creek-side trail and get curious about all the things plants and animals are up to as they prepare for the colder months.
SCHEDULE ALERT: No outings Friday, November 28, 2025 or Saturday, November 29, 2025.
