Just downstream from the Dungeness River Nature Center, this site is located in dense riparian forest. Growth in the understory has been limited by deep shade, and the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe has recently taken measures to thin this section of forest and allow for a more robust assortment of native understory plants. Building on the Nature Center’s plantings earlier this year, we will be planting the riparian understory with shade-tolerant plants to boost the area’s biodiversity and provide new and improved habitat for native birds, insects, amphibians, mammals, and more!

Planting Details:

Wednesday, February 18th

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.
