Volunteer Planting & Invasive Removal
There are bountiful volunteering opportunities to restore habitat in our Pacific Northwest home!
Both your time and energy are valuable in our shared goal of protecting vital habitat. Organizations need support with on the ground work and administration.
Sometimes, our favorite restoration agents don't publish details for work parties or organizational roles on their websites. If you love a group, reach out! Ensure you are signed up on email lists or contact the team directly to ensure that you are in the loop.
Administrative support
Organizations often need help with administrative tasks such as volunteer coordination, website maintenance, and bookkeeping. Sometimes these jobs are done by a volunteer board of directors and other times by committed individuals. Oftentimes, restoration is done on a shoestring budget. No matter one's skill set, any help one can provide is valuable!
Hands in dirt
In our region, planting native plant species is often done during the fall and winter seasons, when rain is abundant.
Invasive plant removal is often a summer task while the weather is fair.
In addition to planting and removal, consider plant salvages, beach clean-ups, rain garden maintenance, or lending a hand in a local community garden.
