Yesterday we had the joy of taking Salmon Junior High 7th graders up to Chief Joseph Pass for our annual Hands on the Land field trip. The purpose of this trip is to introduce students to winter recreation in the form of snowshoeing and cross-country skiing as well as talk about snow science and safety. A HUGE thank you goes to our community volunteers who chaperoned students around the ski trails and contributed their time to help our community's youth experience new things. Thank you Joel, Marla, Betsy, John, Travis, Sarah, Frances, Peter, Emma, Becca, Sidney, and Jessica! Another huge shoutout to our partnership with the Salmon Field Office BLM and U.S. Forest Service - Salmon-Challis National Forest for continuing to support our outdoor education programming; from volunteer and guest educator support to funding the field trip bus costs, our federal partners invest in our efforts to connect people to the land!

Salmon Valley Stewardship is committed to supporting pollinators and biodiversity, and we are always looking for volunteers for projects like the Milkweed-Monarch Monitoring Program and Native Plants Restoration Program. If you're a person passionate about pollinators and native plants, we would love your help! Either with monitoring, collecting native seeds, or helping with education. We have links to sign up and get involved on our website:
https://www.salmonvalley.org/getinvolved

Pollinators will continue to be a focus of our educational programs as well - this year we're participating in Ag Week and doing a fun round of pollinator education for schoolkids in partnership with the University of Idaho Extension. On March 6th we are hosting an event for farmers and ranchers about resources available to better support pollinators in center pivot corners. "Pivots for Pollinators" will be a learning opportunity with presentations by the Forest Service, NRCS, and University of Idaho Extension as well as free starter sources of seeds to get more pollinator-friendly plants growing in these underutilized, often problematic areas.

We are looking forward to when the snow melts, flowers bloom, and we'll start seeing pollinators emerging and flying with the warmer temperatures - then we'll know spring has actually arrived!

Matthew Molyneaux, Technical Specialist with Oregon Tilth, discusses the essential tools and practices needed to implement the Organic Wild Crop Harvest certification for the sustainable collection of wild crops, while ensuring they meet organic standards. Topics include an in-depth look at the Organic Systems Plan, as well as pre- and post-certification requirements such as harvest and sales record keeping.

This training was supported by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP). TOPP is a program of the USDA Organic Transition Initiative and is administered by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) National Organic Program (NOP).

We are excited to share "part 2" of the valuable Organic Wild Harvesting training by @ncap_team and @oregontilth.
