#ThrowbackThursday to the early 2000's. Here we see a man fly fishing at a confluence within the Smith River in California. A confluence occurs when two or more flowing bodies of water join together to form a single channel. In this case, a stream is joining a larger river.

This year 20 kids from Orleans Elem. participated in Chinook salmon surveys. Over the fall season, students walked 12 stream miles to count, measure, sample, and fill out data sheets. Thank you to all organizations involved. #WildlifeConservation #Salmon #Nature

Winter is a great time to check for wildlife tracks in the snow or mud & see if you can identify them! Do you know who left these tracks? #WildlifeWednesday
