SUMMARY:Volunteer Planting 2/1 – Discovery Bay
DESCRIPTION:This event is being rescheduled. Thanks to your hard work\, we were able to plant 900 native trees and shrubs at our MLK Day of Service event. We expect to return to the Hall Baetz Viewpoint in March to continue planting the shoreline of Discovery Bay. Stay tuned for future events!\nJoin NOSC on February 1st to plant trees and shrubs at Discovery Bay! \nA newly planted tree\, with gloves and a shovel. Photo by Lindsey Aspelund. \nIn 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. \nPlanting Details:\nSaturday\, February 1st \n10am – 2pm \nPlease 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. \nPlease bring lunch\, water\, and layers/footwear you need to be comfortable in our winter weather! \nDirections will be provided in RSVP confirmation email. \nAbout the site:\nThe 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. \n  \n \n\nTop: An aerial photo of Discovery Bay. Photo courtesy of John Gussman.

SUMMARY:Volunteer Planting 2/15 - Snow Creek
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we plant a forest along the banks of the newly restored Snow Creek Uncas Preserve Reach near Discovery Bay!\nFebruary 15th\, 10am-2pm \nAfter completing the first stage of floodplain and large woody debris work in the summer of 2023\, the next stage of this project is working to restore a healthy and diverse riparian forest on the shores of Snow Creek. We will plant native trees and shrubs from 10am-1:30pm\, with a break for lunch around noon. After planting\, we will give a tour of the restoration project at around 1:30pm. \nRefreshments\, gloves and tools will be provided. \nParking is very limited\, so please try to carpool if you can! \nAbout the site: \nDuring the summer of 2023\, NOSC undertook a comprehensive habitat restoration project at the Jefferson Land Trust’s Snow Creek Uncas Preserve. The Land Trust acquired the property in 2015 to conserve the stream and riparian habitat to support salmon recovery. \nThis reach of the stream was identified as a major source of bank erosion\, contributing fine sediments that were being washed downstream. This erosion impacts downstream redds of endangered Hood Canal Summer Chum. As sediment settles into the gravels around salmon eggs\, it limits the flow of water across the eggs and restricts their access to dissolved oxygen. \nTo minimize bank erosion in the project reach\, water traveling through the stream needed to be slowed down. This was achieved by installing 39 engineered log jams in order to slow water flow and add stream complexity. Additionally\, ¼ mile of side-channels and 1.4 acres of floodplain were created or reconnected\, allowing water to spread out and slow down during moderate to high flows. \nInterested in learning more about the whys behind restoration work like this? Check out this talk by NOSC’s Project Manager\, Kevin Long\, on Stage 8 Restoration from the Port Townsend Marine Science Center’s Future of Oceans Lecture Series \nWhile the first phase of the project is complete\, the second phase\, reforesting the site with a healthy and diverse riparian forest is just beginning. After an initial planting phase last winter\, we aim to complete the reforestation this winter by infilling with additional understory and increasing plant density in some areas. \n \nPhoto by Jeremy Johnson.

SUMMARY:Winter Twig Identification Course - Jefferson County
DESCRIPTION:Join NOSC to learn how to identify winter twigs!\nAre you interested in plant identification? Have you wondered what the bare twigs you see throughout winter will grow into? Join us as we host winter twig identification courses in both Clallam and Jefferson counties. We will discuss plant identification methods suitable for winter\, when you cannot immediately identify plants by their leaves or flowers. \nPlease RSVP as space is limited. \n  \nJefferson County Class Details:\nDate: Thursday\, February 20th \nTime: 1-3pm \nLocation: Illahee Preserve \nPartner: Jefferson Land Trust \n  \n \n  \nGeneral Information:\nPlease arrive by 1pm for site orientation. \nPlease bring water and layers/footwear you need to be comfortable in our winter weather! \nDirections will be provided in RSVP confirmation email. \n  \nCaption: A newly planted winter twig emerging from the ground.
