September 26th

It’s part scavenger hunt and part double-dog-dare; it’s Beyond the Backyard, a new Habitat Challenge.

Beyond the Backyard is a unique fundraiser for our time; it’s quarantine-friendly as there’s no start/finish line and no gathering.

Teams of 3-8 people race to complete 24 challenges in the categories of PHYSICAL, FIND, SKILL and FUN -submitting photo/video proof to race HQ along the way. Suited for all ages and stages, this quest is made for athletes and fun-seekers of all ability levels.

You can contain your team and the race to your immediate family and your own block, or expand out to include some close friends and your city. No matter your choice, it’s a great way for a quarantine pod to shake things up and have some fun! Best of all, the race funds affordable homeownership in our communities.

Sign up today and hold Saturday 9/26 for Beyond the Backyard! You may get wet, you may get a little dirty, but you will definitely laugh.

Powell Creek Protected Area Planting with Nisqually River Education Project @ Nisqually Land Trust Powell Creek Protected Area
Tickets
Oct 21 @ 9:00 am – 3:00 pm

The Nisqually Land Trust and Nisqually River Education Project need your help to plant over 3,000 native trees and shrubs this fall! These trees and shrubs will help restore critical habitat in the beautiful Nisqually Watershed.

These planting dates from Oct. 21st to Nov. 3rd take place at our Powell Creek Protected Area, which is located near Yelm. Over the past two years, we have been working on replanting a portion of Nisqually floodplain that was formerly used for agriculture. Bring your family, friends, or service group for a meaningful and fun opportunity!

On each of the planting dates besides Saturday, October 31st, there is a morning shift (9-12) and afternoon shift (12-3). Feel free to sign up for as many shifts as you’d like!

To receive directions to the event, you need to register at our Eventbrite link below:

We will have COVID-19 safety protocols in place such as 6+ foot distancing, masks when we are gathered as a group, sterilization of tools, no shared snacks, and limited group sizes. Bring your own gloves and snacks! We can’t wait to see you there!

If you have any questions, send Susannah an email at volunteer@nisquallylandtrust.org.
