Improve river habitat with tree-planting trip

SEQUIM — The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe and the North Olympic Salmon Coalition are seeking volunteers to help plant native trees along the Dungeness River from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jan. 5 and Feb. 23.

North Olympic Salmon Coalition (NOSC) volunteers and crew aim to plant 10,000-plus trees and shrubs this year.

Reforestation of the floodplain along the Dungeness River will help to improve water quality and create healthy habitat for the fish and wildlife that frequent the area, volunteers said.

In January 2016, the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe purchased the property that will be planted, using funding from Puget Sound Acquisition and Restoration and Floodplains by Design.

The restoration effort has involved removing three houses that were falling into the river, and re-vegetating the area in an attempt to restore the historic floodplain.

Tools and gloves will be provided during work days but are in limited supply, so participants are encouraged to bring their own.

Light refreshments and hot drinks will be provided. Bring warm, waterproof clothes and boots, water and a lunch.

Find more details and RSVP at www.nosc.org (click on the “RSVP” button on the home page).

For more about the events, call 360-504-5611 or email to volunteer@nosc.org.
