Day 4

July 11

Location: OSU Geological Field Station

 

Today was our last day at the OSU campsite. We finished our bacterial analysis from the water samples we took and took some measurements of Keyes Creek. They came out vastly different just from the placement of the camera. We travelled to Deschutes Bridge campground; it is a U.S. Forest Service campground that is closed for the public but we are allowed to come up here.

Day 11

 July 18th Location: Tribal Native Plant Nursery and Tamástslikt Cultural Institute   We met Gail at the nursery today. The Nursery was opened in 1994 and was originally for non-profit… but due to personnel changes had become a “for-profit” and was not very successful, so they are working on making it only for restoration work once again. The organization has been partnered with the Wildlife Program since 2004. A lot of the information being given to us during this trip I already knew of or had learned from my parents but there were some things that they do that I had not heard of. She mentioned using snow cover for insulating plants which I thought was interesting. My mom in her garden insulates her plants for the winter but we would cover them in fallen leaves or other natural plant debris so they would make it through the winter. I also learned that some seeds require rough treatment in order to mimic nature by grinding them up against sandpaper. One of the plants they ...

Day 13

 July 20th Location: Tshimikain creek, Sand creek   Today is the last day of our trip. We had an amazing field day today and met many people while doing work with the Spokane’s Tribes Natural Resource Department. We worked today with three people specifically, Calvin, Lars, and Donovan. Calvin has been doing this type of work since 2017 and started at a specialist fishery for endangered species and is now a water resource specialist. Lars is a veteran in the field and shared lots of his information with us. Unfortunately, today was one of the days that it was difficult to take notes while out in the field but for me is one of the more memorable days. Donovan is working with the department for the summer through the Spokane Youth Program for Tribal Members. Which I think is just amazing to be able to see these programs being in place and be able to make an impact on the younger generation to help them discover new passions and future career opportunities. We started off at ...
