Greetings Science Work Group Members,
Just a reminder about our Science Work Group big canoe trip coming up on July 27. We're still working out logistics and need to get an estimate on how many people will participate in the paddle. Please let us know if you plan to come on our paddle by emailing me at corbett@lcrep.org. Please RSVP by Friday, July 23.
Keep in mind that the paddle is important for networking with colleagues working in the lower Columbia River, for more hands-on experience on the water/resource we’re all working to protect and for expanding your knowledge of natural history from other Science Work Group members. It is a great way to learn what others are working on and possible collaboration opportunities. And some times it is just important to insert a day in the field to keep oneself happy and motivated.
The basic agenda for the paddle is as follows:
9:00 - Meet at the Estuary Partnership office for a van pool to Ridgefield, WA (meeting at the boat ramp will also be an option)
9:45 - Arrive at Ridgefield Boat Ramp
10:00 - Start the paddle
11:30 – Stop for Picnic (Estuary Partnership provided box lunch) and Swim (if 100 degrees again!)
1:30 Arrive back at Ridgefield Boat Ramp
1:45 - Leave Ridgefield Boat Ramp
2:45 - Arrive back at the Estuary Partnership office.
We'll follow up with additional details next week. We will be providing both lunch and transportation to and from the boat ramp.
Should be a great trip! Hope many of you can participate. To see photos of the Big Canoes - check out the Estuary Partnership's On-River Experience Page: http://www.lcrep.org/experience-lower-columbia-river-big-canoes
Please let us know if we can answer any questions!
