USFW sagebrush planting opportunity!
November 29 - December 1 AND
December 4 - December 8
From the Central Washington National Wildlife Refuge complex:
-
USFW is having a sagebrush planting project that will span almost 2 weeks.
-
It will start just after Thanksgiving - so a great way to work off that turkey dinner!
-
The event will be located on Rattlesnake Mtn, on Hanford Natl. Monument - an area that is closed to the general public. This is a unique opportunity to see this part of the Monument.
-
We will be planting small sagebrush (6-10" tall) in a selected site just off the access road.
-
It's a great event for a planting party, and to get to know some of the folks from the US Fish & Wildlife.
-
Note there are multiple planting days, so if interested folks could RSVP to us what days they would like to help that would be fantastic.
U.S. Fish & Wildlife is seeking volunteers to plant sagebrush on the Hanford Reach National Monument.
Check the Informational Flyer here for details.
