Volunteers help plant native species that enhance the habitat of our preserves.Saturday, December 5
Join CLT and Mason Conservation District for a casual morning of planting native shrubs and trees at Bayshore Preserve!
Together we will work to restore the riparian area of Johns Creek by removing invasive plants, planting natives, and ensuring their success by mulching and installing browse protectors. This is a great opportunity to enhance salmon and wildlife habitat along Oakland Bay.
