Hope you can join us tomorrow at the Wenatchee River Institute to learn about Beaver Powered Restoration.

Join WRI and Washington Native Plant Society to learn about the Wenatchee-Entiat Beaver Project! Michael Dello Russo of Icicle Valley Trout Unlimited and Alex Harwell of Cascadia Conservation District will tell us about the project. It provides education and outreach to manage human-beaver conflicts, relocates beavers, and constructs beaver dam analogs to restore aquatic and riparian environments in Central Washington.

This is a FREE, hybrid event. You may join us in person in the Red Barn or via Zoom. Doors open at 6:30pm for a community social with beer and wine available for purchase. There will be a donation basket at the door.
