Native Plant Nursery Volunteer Days in 2025
Native plants, those that are only found here on the South Coast, offer a multitude of benefits, historically, culturally, and ecologically. Whether they’re growing along a streambank in the forest, alongside a parking lot in town, or in your own backyard, native plants offer many benefits:
- Provide shade and cover along streams, which keeps the water cool for salmon and other species
- Prevent erosion on steep banks
- Capture runoff in yards and driveways
- Filter stormwater, especially when used in rain gardens and bioswales
- Provide wildlife habitat (birds, mammals, insects)
- Support ecological food web
Seeking Coho monitoring interns!
Are you interested in the diversity of fish in our waterways? Become a CoosWA intern! We work year-round to monitor fish populations, tagging fish with microchips and noting species, size, and weight. This information is important in monitoring the populations of the federally threatened Coho salmon, along with many others. Depending on the season, interns may help with seining (walking through the water with a big net), spawning surveys (counting adult spawning salmon), or with the operations of a rotary screw trap that collects juvenile fish for us to examine and tag. See our employment page for job description and more info.
