Habitat Restoration for Columbian White-tailed Deer!

Help restore habitat for the Endangered Columbian white-tailed deer! We need to plant 7,600 native trees and shrubs to provide cover and forage for the deer and other wildlife. This is 3+ times our usual number of plants per season (2,000-2,400)! Plantings will take place most Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9:00 am-12:30 pm between October 29th and March 7th. Special days may also be arranged for groups. In addition, we will be looking for volunteers, if needed, on an ad hoc basis on Tuesdays and Thursdays to keep up with our goals. Bring waterproof shoes, water and dress for the weather rain or shine! Registration is encouraged, but not required. Kids under 18 years old must have a parent signature on the volunteer waiver if unaccompanied by an adult. Please, contact staff at (360) 887-3883 or Emily_Long@fws.gov.
