Salmon Fest Project: The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery in collaboration with One Reel Productions of Seattle, the U.S. Forest Service, Cascade School District, and WSU Cooperative Extention hosted the "I am Salmon" international learning project as part of the 2002 Salmon Fest activities. 4-H Forestry Education program participants utilized their training in field observations, GPS technology, and mapping to create a series of learning sites on Icicle Creek for visiting middle school students from Japan, Russia, Alaska, and Washington State. These students collected data from the learning sites for the purpose of completing presentations for Salmon Fest visitors including the construction of a permanent display at the hatchery. 4-H Forestry Education Program participants mentored and provided assistance to the visiting international students for the creation of their displays and presentations.
