COMMUNITY SALMON RELEASE JUNE 5

This spring hundreds of students in the Salmon in the Schools program have been releasing
their coho fry in Fauntleroy Creek. Because most schools were successful this year in rearing
their fish, scores of the back-up fry reared by volunteer Jack Lawless won’t be needed for
students.

The Fauntleroy Watershed Council invites the community to put these fish in the creek on
Sunday, June 5, 1-3:00 pm at the big bridge in Fauntleroy Park. Volunteers will keep
everyone dry and answer questions about salmon, habitat, and stewardship.

From the SW Barton Street entrance (map), turn left at the trail T. The bridge is a five-minute stroll
east on a nearly flat, well-maintained trail. Expect to kneel on a rock to release your fish; no
boots required. Dogs will need to be secured away from the water.

Can’t easily walk? On a dry day, the trail is suited to a walker or wheelchair. Can’t easily
kneel? You’ll still be able to get up close and personal with your fish.
