Plant Salvages
Next Salvage: February 28th, 2010 Email nativeplantsalvage@gmail.com for details.
Our volunteers salvage small native trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants from local areas that are scheduled for clearing due to development. Salvages usually happen in the cold winter months when the plants are dormant and less likely to perish from the stress of being moved around.
The plants are cared for and later provided to community groups who use them to restore habitat and improve water quality. Plants are also used to support NPSP sponsored projects such as Learning Landscapes, Demonstration Gardens and habitat restoration projects in and around Thurston County.
Salvages begin at 9:30 a.m. at the site. For liability and privacy reasons, we don't publicly release the site location. Contact us for more infomation: 360-867-2166 or nativeplantsalvage@gmail.com
We provide a hot vegetarian lunch, then move to our holding beds to pot the recovered plants around 1 p.m.
Please print and sign this liability waiver and bring it to the event you are volunteering at.
