Through equipment purchases made possible by The Nature Conservancy and ODFW’s Salmon Trout Advisory Committee (STAC), CWC has acquired an extensive inventory of watershed exploration equipment that we use for our education programming efforts.
We also make this equipment available to area schools interested in conducting their own watershed education curriculum.
CWC has available for loan:
- trout aquariums and chillers
- water quality testing kits
- macroinvertebrate sampling
- riparian sampling kits
- salmon life-cycle educational programs
- rubber boots
- GPS units
- microscopes
- and other equipment students can use to learn more about the ecology present in their own back yards!
