2026 Volunteer Redd Survey
Advertisement
NWAI's Redd Survey is here again for a fifth year! Volunteer to lead or join a team to count salmon redds in the Nashwaak watershed. Please sign up if you plan to attend the event using our eventbrite link in the 'tickets' tab!
Join the Nashwaak Watershed Association in getting outside in our waterways and searching for salmon redds! Whether you are a salmon expert or have never seen a redd before, all experience levels and ages* are welcome to participate in this free event.
This year, on top of the usual weekend volunteer survey, we will be holding smaller group surveys (only 4 spots per day) during select weekdays to check in on more remote sections of the watershed. Volunteers will carpool in the NWAI truck with the Aquatics coordinator to visit these sites. Some snacks will be provided, but bringing a lunch is recommended. These surveys would not be suitable to bring children as we will have a bit over an hour drive to our locations and do not have service most of the time.
Everyone will meet at our office (Unity Community Centre, 241 Canada St, Third Floor, rooms 7 & 8) before the event for a debrief, and to be assigned your team lead and location.
For the weekend survey, your team will travel to your site and survey for redds together, documenting any you may see, then returning to the Unity Community Centre for a free meal and mingling .
Bring your waders if you own a pair, polarized sunglasses, and keen eyes! We can provide waders if you do not own a pair.
*Note, young children who have no experience wading through rivers may find this event difficult - if you're unsure if your kids can participate in this event email [email protected] with any questions :)
