Opt Outside: Chehalis River Restoration Day

About this event

Looking for a way to spend the Saturday after Thanksgiving that doesn't involve shopping? Opt outside and give back to your community!

Join us on Saturday, November 28, from 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. for a morning of hands-on restoration along the Chehalis River. Volunteers will help plant native trees and shrubs and remove invasive plants to improve habitat for fish and wildlife.

Volunteers of all ages and abilities are welcome , and no previous restoration experience is needed. We'll have a variety of tasks available, so come ready to get outside, get your hands dirty, and help care for the river.

Meeting Information:

Please arrive between 10:00 and 10:15 a.m. We will meet near the parking area and walk down to the restoration site together. The site is a short walk from the parking area, so please plan to arrive during the designated arrival window.

This event will take place on private property , generously made available to us by the landowner. Please respect the property and landowner by only accessing the site during the scheduled event.

The property address and driving instructions will be emailed to registered volunteers before the event. Please RSVP in advance so you receive the information you need to get to the meeting location.

All volunteers will be required to sign a liability release before participating. Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who will be required to sign the liability release.

Instead of spending the Saturday after Thanksgiving shopping, come spend the morning outside and give something back to the river and community we all share.
