Thank you to everyone who joined us and Capitol Land Trust at Hilburn Preserve on Saturday for an Invasive W**d Pull to prep for Orca Recovery Day on Saturday! With volunteers from Shelton High School's ROTC Cadets and our broader community, we were able to remove invasives that have popped up at the site since our construction & mulching this summer.

Missed out on the fun? Join us this upcoming Saturday, October 17 for the ninth annual Orca Recovery Day as we plant a native pollinator meadow to support local salmon and Southern Resident orca populations that depend on healthy upstream water systems. We'll begin at 9am at Hilburn Preserve (198 W Hulbert Rd, Shelton, WA 98548), with supplies & snacks provided. We have nearly 2,000 native plants to install, so bring your friends!

What happens when conservation is rooted in relationships? 🌿

In a project supported by WaSHI's Sustainable Farms and Fields program, the Squaxin Island Tribe and Mason Conservation District partnered to transform a riparian area at Salish Roots Farm into a productive, harvestable landscape rooted in culture, ecology, and community.

This project shows how Indigenous leadership, flexible funding, and strong partnerships can create landscapes that benefit both people and ecosystems.
