Discover the Natural Beauty and Serenity of Damon Point
We spent a stormy and dramatic weekend exploring Damon Point, not to mention watching Humpback whales feeding off the point.
To promote education and conservation through the documentation and participation of leading citizen-science projects.
We continue to participate in a variety of science projects providing valuable data to organizations such as NOAA, COASST, and Sea Grant. We’ve trapped for the invasive European Green Grab, sampled for microplastics in both the marine and freshwater environments, conducted debris surveys, collected data on beached coastal birds, and collected data on our Wild and Scenic Rivers.
A new season of fieldwork has commenced. We’re excited to be working with Adventure Scientist on this project for a third season. This wet, rainy weekend finds us back in Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and the Suiattle River to measure the health of this iconic river.
Be sure to watch our Twitter account for reports from the field.
Our mission is a labor of love, but it does come with overhead. If you’d like to support our efforts we’d certainly appreciate it. Currently, we’re actively participating in the following field research:
Thank you.

We decide to move to a new COASST beach after years of surveying Toleak Beach. The bonus is the new beach is full of fossils.
Burley Mountain Lookout was a product of the 1910 ‘Big Blowup’ fires that devasted large areas of Washington, Idaho, and Montana
An advantage to our volunteering is that we’re often well off the beaten track presented with spectacular scenery. Here you can find our more dramatic photos taken in the field.

The name Skamokawa is derived from the Chinook Jargon word “sk’mok-wa”, which means smoke or fog on the water. The area has a rich history and was once inhabited by the Chinook people, who used the Columbia River for trade and transportation. Later, European settlers arrived and established the town as a hub for logging and fishing.
Today, Skamokawa is known for its natural beauty and outdoor recreational opportunities, including camping, hiking, and fishing.
Some of my work has been featured on CNN, Outside TV and, National Geographic.
