The Clallam Conservation District is offering two free field workshops on landscaping with native plants. Workshops are 1-4 p.m. Saturday, April 9, and Saturday, April 23, both at the Dungeness Recreation Area.

Because of space limitations, pre-registration is required, Call the Clallam Conservation District at 775-3747 ext. 5 for more information and/or to register.

The workshop involves a two-mile hike through the Clallam County park. More than 25 native trees and shrubs will be described, along with their cultural requirements, aesthetic attributes and environmental and wildlife habitat benefits. Tips on how best to incorporate native plants into your landscape will be offered.

Conservation District executive director Joe Holtrop leads the workshop. Holtrop, who holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in landscape architecture, has conducted these workshops since 1990.
