Information:
NOTE: If you have never submitted the New Volunteer Registration (even if you've volunteered with us before), please complete that first!
We're partnering with Whatcom Land Trust to help with restoration work at their Rutsatz Salmon Reserve* property along the Nooksack River. At this work party, you will be removing blackberry vines and digging up roots from around young trees, increasing their survival rate, and clearing the way for additional future tree-planting. Healthy forest along the banks of the Nooksack River is vital to the health and reproduction of salmon.
Note that participants will also need to sign WLT's Volunteer Waiver
(unless you've signed it within the past year), even if you have already signed WMTP's. You can sign it at the event before starting work, or print it and bring it with you already signed.
Some details may not yet be finalized, so look out for an email from us a couple days in advance with information on where to park, where we're meeting, and what other amenities may be available.
