Envisioning Conservation: The Next 90 Years

In times of constant defense against futures we don’t want, how do we make room for building the futures we do want?

Join the National Wildlife Federation’s Science Team for a virtual series designed to strengthen your capacity for creative imagination about the futures we want for people and wildlife, within and beyond our lifetimes. When critical resources, policies, and institutions are facing significant disruption, imagination can feel like a luxury—but that’s also precisely the time when it’s most important. The time to develop daring, innovative solutions for building and rebuilding conservation science, policy, and practice is now.

We must think of the generations that follow us. That's why we cannot reopen Marine National Monument, Rose Atoll Marine National Sanctuary and Marine National Monument and the Mariana Trench Marine National Monument to commercial fishing.

DPW Environmental has an upcoming volunteer opportunity on Thursday, August 27 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Join us in restoring the Prairie Oak Preserve by creating seed balls with native prairie species, including camas, chocolate lilies, and other native seeds, and planting them throughout the preserve.

This is a great opportunity to contribute to the restoration and long-term health of one of JBLM’s unique habitats, support local pollinators, and enjoy a morning outdoors!

No prior experience is necessary; training and materials will be provided. To register, or if you have any questions, please email [email protected]. Please see the attached flyer for more information.

🦋 The 10th edition of the International Monarch Monitoring Blitz is here!

What is the Monarch Blitz? It is a call to action for individuals, organizations and community scientists across North America to join efforts to conserve monarch butterflies and the habitat they depend on. This initiative takes place every summer over 10 days.

Why is it important? The Monarch Blitz database is made up almost entirely of observations shared by volunteers. Every observation matters and helps build a clearer picture of monarch breeding habitat across North America!

The countdown is on… join us 31 July to 9 August!

🟠 Spot milkweed and monarch butterflies at any of their 4 life stages:🌿🥚🐛 🦋

🔎 Log your sightings in a community science data platform and make them count!

🧡 Help protect this iconic migratory species

💡Fun fact: monarch butterflies weigh less than a gram and travel up to 5,000 kilometers!

Let’s make the 10th anniversary unforgettable! 🦋

"Using native shrubs and trees in mixed hedges might provide the most value for local wildlife, but even a single-species hedge can offer considerable support to birds and beneficial insects. Whether you decide to go all-in on one or mix it up, most native shrubs and trees do best when planted in the fall through early spring."

A hedge along the perimeter of a yard can provide the same level of privacy as a fence. And with proper care, it can last for generations.

Want to cool down your neighborhood?

Trees lower temperatures, clean the air, and provide shade. There are several free and low-cost tree programs right here in Pierce County.
