Habitat Restoration Work Parties
Capitol Land Trust invites you to join us for a volunteer stewardship event
at one of our conservation properties! Capitol Land Trust provides tools,
gloves, water and snacks. Please bring sturdy, waterproof shoes, rain gear,
and cold weather clothes. If you have tools and gloves of your own we invite
you to bring them as well. Students under 18 must have their parent or

Adventure & Conservation Speaker Series: Fly by Night
John Fleckenstein, a zoologist with WA Dept. of Natural Resources, will talk
about bats. More than 900 species of bats are known around the world, but
none are as cool as the bats you can watch in your own backyard. John has
given many public tours and talks about bats, not to mention spending plenty
of time in the field researching them.
