Kaiser Preserve – President’s Day

February 21

This President’s Day, spend part of your holiday volunteering with Capitol Land Trust at Kaiser Preserve! This property is 19.5 acres and part of the Green Cove Creek Basin in Olympia. We will spend the morning removing ivy growing up trees and taking down some scattered blackberries that are growing around the preserve.

Kaiser Preserve is a short distance from the Evergreen campus, and is accessible by walk, bike, bus, or car (we love public and non-motorized transport)!

Expect to see a diversity of bird species, including the possibility of bald eagles and herons. Please bring waterproof boots; a decent amount of the preserve consists of wetlands and lowland grasses that will be wet.

Monday, February 21
10:00 am – 2:00 pm
Kaiser Preserve, Olympia

Volunteers must fill out an annual Volunteer Waiver before volunteering with CLT. Minors must be accompanied by an adult or have both pages of the Minor Waiver Release Form filled out ahead of time. You may print and fill out your waiver ahead of time and bring to the event or send us a photo of your completed waiver. We will also have extra waivers at the event. Completed waivers, questions, and concerns can be emailed to [email protected].
