Community members are invited to join the Clallam Conservation District, North Olympic Salmon Coalition and Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe to help plant and install plant protectors along the Dungeness River in Sequim.

This project will help restore a portion of a 52-acre of floodplain that will soon be reconnected to the Dungeness River following setback of a levee.

Volunteer opportunities are set for six upcoming dates:

• 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 24

• 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 25

• 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Wednesday, March 2

• 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, March 5

• 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Friday, March 11

• 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, March 12

Volunteers will meet and park at the Olympic Game Farm parking lot in Sequim, and will be shuttled in small groups by vans provided by the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe to the project site, about five minutes away.

Biking or walking to the site is also an option, however the closest parking spot to the planting area is more than a mile away.

Shovels and other equipment will be provided. Attendees are encouraged to bring gloves, snacks and water. There will be a port-a-potty on site for volunteer use.

Volunteers will be working in a grassy field, so waterproof footwear — along with warm clothing — is advised.

Masks are required for the duration of the shuttle ride, but may be removed once outside as long as a 6-foot distance is maintained between other volunteers and staff.
