Field-based Events

McLane Creek Stewardship

Since 2009, Native Plant Salvage Project, Stream Team and the Department of Natural Resources have been collaborating to steward the beautiful McLane Creek Nature Trail.

Spend a few hours maintaining the trails, while appreciating the diversity in this wonderful example of a Puget lowland forest. We mindfully trim back growth along the trail, remove leaf debris from boardwalks, and clear the paths of any large debris.

An outing with Stream Team and the Native Plant Salvage team will give you a chance to exercise your plant knowledge in the company of experienced volunteers and educators, and your service will help DNR keep the trails accessible to the public, while keeping habitat value as high as we can.

Restoration with Capitol Land Trust

We partner with CLT to help restore many of their preserves, sustaining local ecosystems by installing native plants.

Other restoration projects

Replanting the slopes of a salmon-bearing stream to, restoring sections of forest, or installing raingardens and other green stormwater infrastructure — we’re always up to something!
