PORT ANGELES — Olympic National Park is seeking volunteers for the Elwha River Restoration Revegetation Project.

Volunteers can assist with native-seed collection, growing and caring for native plants at Olympic National Park’s nursery, and replanting the former Lake Mills.

This summer, there are opportunities at the Matt Albright Native Plant Center, east of Port Angeles in Robin Hill Farm County Park.

Volunteers can help transplant native seedlings, clean and sow seed, and care for the thousands of native plants that will be planted in former Lake Mills this fall.

Regular volunteer drop-in days and hours at the nursery are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays.

For more information about volunteer opportunities with the revegetation project, email Jill Zarzeczny at Jill_Zarzeczny@nps.gov or phone 360-565-3047.
