Meet Our Team
The Salish Sea School is committed to cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity, inclusion, and connectedness. We are able to grow and learn better together with a diverse team. We welcome the unique contributions that one can bring in terms of their education, opinions, culture, ethnicity, race, sex, gender identity and expression, nation of origin, age, languages spoken, veteran’s status, color, religion, disability, sexual orientation and beliefs.
We are stronger together with the collective sum of individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, innovation, self-expression, and talent which ultimately brings about a healthier planet.

Join Friends of the ACFL and The Salish Sea School for a morning of trees and sea as we explore the connection of old growth forests and the Salish Sea through the eyes of the endangered Marbled Murrelet. Start your morning with a walk through some of the best remaining Puget Sound lowland old growth forests and hear the story of how these adorable seabirds rely on this special habitat. Afterwards, head over to Green Point (Washington Park) for the opportunity to see these birds in person, learn how TSSS’s Marbled Murrelet Research Program is helping protect this species, and to take part in a citizen science survey.
Join us for one or both legs of this two-part program, and spend your Saturday immersed in the world of trees, sea, and marbled murrelets!
