In partnership with the Jefferson Land Trust and Peninsula Trails Coalition, we will gather to vegetate the site of the new Hall Baetz Viewpoint with native trees and shrubs. The North Olympic Salmon Coalition has been engaged in restoration work at Discovery Bay for over 20 years. This new site covers a large area of shoreline along Discovery Bay. Reforesting this area will provide habitat for the fish, birds, insects, amphibians, and mammals that call the Discovery Bay ecosystem home.

Planting Details:

Saturday, February 1st

10am – 2pm

Please arrive by 10am for site orientation. We’ll take a break for lunch around noon. A site tour will take place at about 1:30pm.

Please bring lunch, water, and layers/footwear you need to be comfortable in our winter weather!

Directions will be provided in RSVP confirmation email.

About the site:

The Hall Baetz Viewpoint is a new wildlife viewing shelter and gathering place along the Olympic Discovery Trail. The property is owned by the Jefferson Land Trust and covers a large portion of the shoreline at Discovery Bay. It is part of greater restoration efforts at Discovery Bay. This viewpoint was named in honor of the late Hall Baetz, a dedicated Olympic Discovery Trail volunteer.
