Klein's "Trail, Water Quality, and Salmon Restoration and Genotyping" project aims to develop a 2,000-foot Environmental Trail from the school to the creek, which not only benefits students of all grade levels, but the community and environment as a whole. The program requires students to identify habitat problems, determine development projects, analyze water quality and restore Coho salmon runs by working with local groups to release 10,000 eggs into the stream. In order to identify hatchery fish from native fish and further develop the connection between biotechnology and environmental education, the project is designed to have students work with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle and Washington State University
