Help us care for the protected spawning grounds of chum salmon in Vancouver
Columbia Land Trust invites you to a morning of habitat restoration at a small forest along the Columbia River near Vancouver.
This special site was conserved in 2002 to protect its shores which are visited by spawning chum salmon every winter, within eyeshot of the 205 bridge! With your help, we’ll continue our stewardship of this property by removing invasive blackberry and ivy, making room for native plants that benefit an array of wildlife.
What to Expect:
We will be working outside, rain or shine, in an uncovered area on uneven terrain. Our work will involve shoveling, bending over, and pulling motions. All participants are encouraged to pace their physical activity to their comfort level. Please dress in layers and wear a rainproof shell layer (coat, pants, boots) to stay dry, pending the forecast. Sturdy boots with good tread are recommended for this site.
We will provide gloves, shovels, and wheel barrels to work with. Volunteers do not need to bring any tools for this event. There is no bathroom available at this site, but you are welcome to go behind a tree if you’re comfortable doing so.
After registering, you will receive directions to the location and a link to our Participant Release Form. For more information, please contact events@columbialandtrust.org. We hope to see you there!
