Host: Tillamook Estuaries Partnership

Event Type: In-person

Come join the Tillamook County Library Garibaldi and Bay City Branches, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s STEP, and Tillamook Esturaries Partnership as we release the Spring Chinook that have been growing up in front of our eyes since late October!

On October 22nd, North Coast STEP Biologist, Kyle Wilson, dropped off Spring Chinook salmon eggs to the Bay City and Garibaldi Libraries. Since then, anyone who has popped into these locations or visited our Explore Nature social media pages has gotten to seen these eggs transition to alevins to sac fry. When they finally absorb their yolk sac in these next few weeks and “button themselves up” they will be ready to be released and complete their life cycles in the Tillamook Bay, out to the ocean, and back to the rivers!

At this event, we will gather at Al Griffin Memorial Park where Kyle will bring the salmon and give attendees the opportunity to release them into Patterson Creek, where they will hang out until they are ready to head to the bay! TEP staff will share about the organization and how we support the monitoring and restoration efforts needed to maintain healthy salmon habitat in Tillamook County!
