Join us as we pot tree seedlings / cuttings in our native tree nursery. Rather than just restoring a few hundred feet of salmon habitat, you will be contributing to the restoration of hundreds of acres of habitat, in just one morning!
Reserve your spot here.
As with all of our activities, training, snacks, coffee, and tools are provided. We will be under tents but outdoors, so dress for the weather. Bring gloves, a water bottle, and a reusable mug. If you don’t have gloves, we will have extra.
Volunteers under the age of 18 who will not be accompanied by their legal guardian need to bring a signed copy of this release.
