9 am to 12 noon:  Tree “Search and Rescue” at Black River Farm

(Littlerock)  Capitol Land Trust holds a conservation easement on this 510-acre farm adjacent to Black River and Mima Creek, to preserve it as a working farm, and preserve and enhance riparian habitat.  The riparian corridors have been fenced to keep out cattle, and native trees and shrubs were planted along Mima Creek to create a riparian buffer.  But now the reed canarygrass has grown up and we can’t find the plants!  So please join us as we conduct a vegetative “search and rescue” to locate the plants and clear circles around them.  We probably will not find D.B. Cooper or Jimmy Hoffa, but we are sure to find lots of native plants just waiting for some help to thrive!  No experience is required.  We will provide tools and gloves.  To register and get more information, email info@capitollandtrust.org or call Yen at (360)943-3012.
