Blake joined the Wild Fish Conservancy crew again this spring after graduating from Western Washington University, earning a Bachelors of Science with an emphasis in freshwater ecology from the Huxley College of the Environment. He will be assisting with data collection on the Columbia River Fish Trap project and with our water typing efforts. When not working Blake enjoys hiking, fishing, photography and woodworking.
