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.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month “Standing up for women’s lives’ @ Online
Tickets
Oct 15 @ 7:00 pm

Thursday, October 15, 7:00pm
Domestic Violence Awareness Month online discussion
Standing up for women’s lives

Learn from two experiences of the ongoing, global epidemic of violence against women. Cheryl Jones, a Metro driver, will tell how she was immediately labeled as the offender after a boyfriend attacked her, a scenario that often happens to Black women. Sarah Scott, an advocate on the New Beginnings Help Line, will discuss how the Covid pandemic has increased dangers to people at risk of intimate partner violence. The speakers’ message: feminists must keep fighting for ourselves, our sisters, and our right to a system that protects the vulnerable, rather than punishing survivors. Everyone welcome.

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.

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!
