Project Title: Restoration Ecology for Young Stewards (REYS)

Restoration Ecology for Young Stewards (REYS)
The Restoration Ecology for Young Stewards (REYS) program is a project and inquiry- based curriculum that actively engages youth in an authentic salmon habitat restoration project. REYS will work with Snohomish County Surface Water Management, local city governments, local school districts, and local tribal entities to offer students the opportunity to learn about ecosystems, enhance their skills in scientific inquiry and investigation, and design solutions to real-world problems faced by restoration professionals. There will be a series of nine lessons for 5th-8th grade students that will include 2 field-based and 7 in-class lessons.
