  • A View of the Summit
    A View of the Summit SUMMER 2017 NEWSLETTER Emerging Leaders Training the Next Generation by Suzanne Savell, Development Director Summer is a special time a Crag. The office is buzzing with energy. With the arrival of our summer associates and interns, we nearly double in staff size. The enthusiasm these volunteers bring into our organization is palpable. Seeing our work through another’s eyes brings us fresh perspectives, and working with our interns really drives home how much we all love the work that we do. From legal research to revamping our website, Crag benefits immensely from the skills and dedication that these volunteers bring to our organization. It is our hope that we, in turn, help these incredible people on their paths to becoming effective environmental advocates. This issue of A View from the Summit features the writing of our 2017 summer volunteers, which include four summer associates, an undergraduate student and and a high school student. In this edition, our volunteers share Crag’s stories and offer their unique perspectives on how they personally relate to our work. Following a career as a biologist, Jennifer Calkins now studies law at the University of Washington. She writes about Crag’s involvement in the federal youth climate case, which has been hailed as the “trial of the century.” A law student at Notre Dame, Ka’sha Bernard reflects on the ongoing fight in the Columbia Gorge to protect Oregon’s public spring water from being bottled and sold by Nestlé. Mark Tuai is a law student at Lewis & Clark and was referred to Crag by our clients The Native Fish Society.

    Salmon and Trout Enhancement Program 2019-2020 Executive Summary LEGISLATIVE REPORT This annual legislative report summarizes the activities and accomplishments of The Salmon and Trout Enhancement Program (STEP) from STEP volunteer efforts October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020. STEP activities are integral are valued at to accomplishing Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (ODFW) fish management objectives. During the 2019-2020 period, statewide STEP $1,320,000 volunteer efforts involved nearly 720 young and 1,500 adult volunteers equaling annually 18 full-time equivalents (FTEs). STEP volunteer efforts are valued at $1,320,000. Due to COVID-19, this is nearly half of the normal involvement. The types of projects conducted through STEP reflect the diverse ways that volunteers can assist with fish and habitat management needs throughout Oregon. The issues and priorities within individual watersheds are often unique to those areas and the focus of STEP efforts can vary across the state. Generally, activities can be grouped into four main categories. EDUCATION AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT INVENTORY AND MONITORING 29,000 people Nearly 310 volunteers participated in STEP contributed to fish monitoring educational activities and inventory efforts These include trainings, classes, tours, presentations, Participants logged 4,000 hours in 157 projects statewide, assessing workshops, and public events.

  • Mt. Hood National Forest
    United States Department of Agriculture Mt. Hood National Forest Forest Service Pacific Northwest Implementing the Strategic Region March 2008 Stewardship Plan A Perspective from the Fisheries Program 2005-2007 Restoring access to nearly 100 miles of natural-flowing rivers and streams that provide salmon habitat in the Sandy River Basin. 1 Cover: Marmot Dam, located along the Sandy River, was decommissioned in 2007 by Portland General Electric (PGE). The 47-foot tall dam, located just downstream of the Mt. Hood National Forest boundary, is the tallest ever removed in Oregon. PGE removed it due to the estimated high cost for bringing it up to current standards for several species of salmon listed under the Endangered Species Act. Restoring the river to a natural, free-flowing condition now provides unobstructed fish passage to almost 100 miles of habitat in the upper basin, most of which occurs on the Mt. Hood National Forest. PGE will remove a smaller dam on the Little Sandy River in 2008 which has blocked access for anadromous fish to another seven miles of river for nearly 100 years. Once decommissioning and restoration activities are complete, PGE will donate 1,500 acres of land towards a 9,000 acre conservation and recreation area along 15 miles of river.

  • Top 300 Masters 2021
    TOP 300 MASTERS 2021 2021 Top 300 MASTERS 1 About Broadcom MASTERS Broadcom MASTERS® (Math, Applied Science, Technology and Engineering for Rising Stars), a program of Society for Science, is the premier middle school science and engineering fair competition, inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers and innovators who will solve the grand challenges of the 21st century and beyond. We believe middle school is a critical time when young people identify their personal passion, and if they discover an interest in STEM, they can be inspired to follow their passion by taking STEM courses in high school. As the only middle school STEM competition that leverages Society-affiliated science fairs as a critical component of the STEM talent pipeline, the Broadcom MASTERS consists of the top 10 percent of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade projets entered in Society-affiliated fairs around the country. After submitting the online application, the Top 300 MASTERS are selected by a panel of scientists, engineers, and educators from around the nation. The Top 300 MASTERS are honored for their work with a $125 cash prize, through the Society’s partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense as a member of the Defense STEM education Consortium (DSEC). Top 300 MASTERS also receive a prize package that includes an award ribbon, a Top 300 MASTERS certificate of accomplishment, a Broadcom MASTERS backpack, a Broadcom MASTERS decal, a one-year family digital subscription to Science News magazine, an Inventor's Notebook, courtesy of The Lemelson Foundation, a one-year subscription to Wolfram Mathematica software, courtesy of Wolfram|Alpha Notebook Edition, and a special prize from Jeff Glassman, CEO of Covington Capital Management.
