Joe Thompson is a worker for PCSC and he is there to guide and teach students. Working with
Joe, we learned about nutrient enhancement and how planting willow stakes can make a landside
more stable. When doing nutrient enhancement, we learned how when the decaying salmon
floats down the streams and provides nutrient to plants growing on the river bank. (My Interview
with Joe Thompson, Personal Interview, December, 2014)
Devin Chastain is a worker for PCSC and she also guides and teaches students. Devin works
with Joe and Alex most of the time when we go out into the field. Devin brought us to the
Bogachiel Steelhead hatchery and gave us additional information on how the hatchery works and
what their goal is. Devin gives us information on how previous projects through PCSC have
benefited salmon habitat. (My Interview with Devin Chastain, Personal Interview, December,

Alex Huelsdonk is a worker for PCSC and guides and teaches students. Alex showed us the
natural steelhead located by Kyle Weekleys house. We installed new fish boards there and he
showed us how the boards have to be a perfect cut or else the fish will not be able to get over
them or get injured will getting over the boards. Alex also taught us about replanting ferns to
keep a land side stable. (My Interview with Alex Huelsdonk, Personal Interview, December,

Carl Chastain is the president of the PCSC. Carl also goes out into the field with us sometimes.
The first time I went out in the field with Carl was doing nutrient enhancement at Hyas creek.
Carl told us about nutrient enhancement and how it is a big part of PCSC’s work. Carl also gave
us additional information on planting willow stakes. (My Interview with Carl Chastain, Personal
Interview, December, 2014)
Daniel Lieberman is a teacher for the Natural Resources. Mr. Lieberman teaches us about ideas
on how we can improve salmon habitat. Lieberman goes out in the field with us and asks
questions along the way while we are learning and that increases our knowledge. He also talks to
workers at PCSC and gives us additional informational on PCSC and projects. (My Interview
with Daniel Lieberman, Personal Interview, December 2014)
Barry Swornson is a worker at the Bogachiel steelhead hatchery and we went to the hatchery and
he explained to us what they do and how they increase salmon population and habitat. Barry
showed us how they raise steelhead salmon from just an egg up until they are a full grown fish,
he also showed us how they broodstock steelhead to either be food quality or nutrient
enhancement. (My Interview with Barry Swornson, Personal Interview, December 2014)
I read an online article about nutrient enhancement in Columbia. This interview has an effect on
me because I am going to be going to college in Centralia. The nutrient enhancement in
Columbia will benefit me because the nutrients will flow into the Washougal River and improve
salmon habitat. I plan to do a lot of sport fishing when I go to college. (Lcfeg.org, Personal

Russell Woodruff is my grandpa and I have learned a lot about salmon from him. I learned about
traditional salmon legends because my grandpa is a Quileute Tribal elder. From my grandpa, I
learned about how in old Quileute legends, how the salmon took care of the tribal member
because they respected the salmon and only took what they needed. (My Interview with Russell
Woodruff, personal interview, January, 2015)
Cody Woodruff is my cousin and we do a lot of sport fishing together. Cody is a very good
fisherman and he has taught me about the places to fish, how to clean and fillet fish and how to
catch them. Cody and I spend a lot of time steelhead fishing together and while we are fishing,
we talk a lot about habitat of salmon. (My Interview with Cody Woodruff, personal interview,
January, 2015)
Chas Woodruff is my dad and he has worked in Marine Construction. My dad dredged for 25
years and I asked him how dredging can improve salmon habitat, he told me, dredging can
improve salmon habitat because it removes silt and mud from the river and boat basin and gets
the bottom of the water back to it’s natural state and removes garbage and hazardous materials
which improve salmon habitat and make the water healthier.
