7/18/17 today we went to the Spokane Tribal Fishery, Anderson Farm, and Roosevelt Lake. It was an crazy fun day. The fishery is not as large as the Yakama fisheries because treaty agreements were agreed upon here at a later time. The fishery program has 1000s of smolt growing in a single tank with more than 20 tanks. Although return rates are sort of low due to the dams. At Anderson Farm, they work for the wildlife program, both of these programs are about mitigation of the affects of climate change on the wildlife. Wildlife program does not really focus on the wildlife itself, but the enivironment they live in. The project they had going on was putting in fences for crops that are for the wildlife in the winter. They grow crops from spring to spring for the wildlife, such as corn.

7/21/17 Another early day, we had to travel to Pullman to meet with Landan Charlo at Kamiak County Park. I met him during my internship, we talked about education and goals over liquid nitrogen ice cream. He told us about his research as a graduate student. He is studying the pileated woodpecker for a company in Snohomish County. Since this research is just starting and is going to continue for another 10 years, Landan is just learning how the woodpecker is considered a keystone species. Since this woodpecker is the largest one of its' species, it is easy for it to chop into the trees and make niches for other animals. The problem with this woodpecker is the fact that it needs more old growth forest to chop into, and the forest that the company wants the woodpecker to be in is young and uniform. Meaning that the woodpecker would be absent there. he took us to the spots were he got some pictures and signs of the woodpeckers' presentence. After meeting with Landan, we...
