Tree and Shrub Planting with Nisqually Land Trust @ Anderson Island Protected Area
Tickets
Mar 1 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm

We’re back out on Anderson Island, and we need your help to finishing plant trees and shrubs near South Oro Bay.

This event requires you to drive your own vehicle onto the Anderson Island Ferry out of Steilacoom, WA (unless, of course, you live close to or on Anderson Island). The ferry costs a little under $20 round trip for the driver and an average size vehicle (there is a senior discount, and the Land Trust can reimburse you for the cost). You can see more details about ferry costs at this link.

Take the 8:20 ferry to Anderson Island. There are return times of12:45PM, 3:15PM and 4:25PM, and you can learn more about the ferry times here. We will finish the work party in time for you to catch the 12:45 pm ferry.

Once on the island, you will head to the worksite, following the directions sent to you via e-mail with your registration confirmation. The work site is a 10-minute drive from the ferry terminal.

Register via Eventbrite for directions to the worksite (click on “Tickets” for the link).

Work parties are rain or shine. Individual, pre-packaged, light snacks are provided. Minors are welcome provided they are accompanied by an adult.

Contact Emily at emily@nisquallylandtrust.org with any questions.

Site Steward Workshop with Nisqually Land Trust @ Eatonville Community Center
Tickets
Mar 4 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm

Do you have a love for the land, and the plants, animals and the other life it supports? Do you want to help take care of the special places you love? Do you like spending your free time walking through the woods?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, becoming a Site Steward with the Nisqually Land Trust may be a good fit for you. Our volunteer stewards “adopt” one of the Land Trust’s properties in the Nisqually River watershed, and periodically monitor it for positive and negative changes.

The Nisqually Land Trust (NLT) is a nonprofit that protects and stewards lands to permanently benefit the water, fish, wildlife, and people of the Nisqually River Watershed

We have over 6,000 acres of protected land, so the Site Steward Program increases our capacity to track changes and more effectively steward this land.

This Site Steward Workshop is an opportunity to learn about our Site Steward program and the work NLT is doing in the watershed. Current or returning site stewards are welcome to join us as well.

Please register through Eventbrite, so we have a headcount for the event. (Click on “Tickets” for the link.) You will also receive directions when you register.

Questions? Email Emily at emily@nisquallylandtrust.org.

Craftopia: Packing Party @ Craftopia
Tickets
Mar 22 @ 5:00 pm

Join us once a month to help prepare and pack up craft kits. These kits are donated free of charge to the Tacoma Public Library and Pierce County Library systems. The libraries then distribute them to the community so people of all ages can learn new projects and explore their creative side.
Packing parties include prepping of supplies and stuffing ziplock bags with materials. We stuff between 100-300 bags each time, so lots of repetitive motion. Beverages and snacks are provided, but feel free to bring your own as well.
RSVP’s appreciated but not required.
