SUMMARY:Volunteer Planting 3/29 – Discovery Bay
DESCRIPTION:Join NOSC on March 29th 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\, March 29th \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  \nFill out my LGL Form! \n\nTop: An aerial photo of Discovery Bay.

SUMMARY:Orca Recovery Day - Volunteer Planting
DESCRIPTION:Come join us again in celebrating Orca Recovery Day as the Jefferson County Conservation District and the North Olympic Salmon Coalition team up for a planting event at Salmon Creek Wildlife Area! This is important habitat for Endangered Hood Canal summer chum salmon. Recent studies have shown that when Chinook salmon\, the preferred prey of Southern Resident Orcas\, is in short supply\, they’ll supplement their diet with other species\, including chum salmon. \nParking is limited. We highly encourage carpooling! \nPlease bring the following: Gloves\, water bottle\, snacks\, layers for fall weather! \nSaturday\, October 18th\, 10am – 12:30pm. \n321 West Uncas Road\, Port Townsend\, WA 98368

SUMMARY:Volunteer Planting - Salmon Creek Wildlife Area
DESCRIPTION:Volunteer with NOSC on November 8th to plant native trees and shrubs to expand the riparian buffer at Snow Creek!\nNovember 8th\, 10am-2pm at Salmon Creek Wildlife Area \nThis winter we aim to extend the riparian buffer on the west side of Snow Creek which flows on the far side of the Salmon Creek Wildlife Area. Outside the 50 -foot current buffer\, the floodplain is currently dominated by invasive Reed Canary Grass which provides little ecosystem services. Riparian buffers play crucial roles in controlling erosion\, providing shade\, filtering pollutants\, slowing runoff\, and are future sources of large woody debris. Dense plantings of native trees and shrubs has been quite effective at this site with shading out invasive species. \nAbout the site: \nThe Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (WDFW) Salmon Creek Wildlife Area is part of the broader 196-acre Discovery Bay Wildlife Area Unit which was acquired for stream\, riparian\, and estuarine restoration and protection. Snow Creek is one of two major salmon streams that flow into Discovery Bay\, providing crucial habitat for ESA-listed Hood Canal Summer Chum and steelhead. Extensive salmon monitoring via WDFW over the past 20 years shows rebounding chum populations after habitat restoration\, riparian buffer planting\, and numerous estuary and nearshore projects. Learn more about NOSC’s estuary and nearshore restoration HERE. \nPlease bring: \n\nLunch\nWater\nLayers for our late fall weather\nSturdy shoes\n\nWe will have work glove and all needed tools/equipment. We will also have some heavy-duty rain gear available to borrow. \nGetting There: Google Maps \n\nFrom Clallam County – take 101 east to Discovery Bay. Just past the old Disco Bay Outdoor Gear Exchange\, turn right on W Uncas Road.  Travel about 1/4 mile\, and look for the NOSC sign at a pullout on your left.\nFrom Port Townsend/Hwy 20 – take Hwy 20 south to 101. Turn right on Hwy 101 then take a left on W Uncas Road just before the old Dico Bay Outdoor Gear Exchange. Travel about 1/4 mile\, and look for the NOSC sign at a pullout on your left.\nFrom 104/101 interchange – take 101 west towards Port Angeles\, continue into Discovery Bay and take a left on W Uncas Road (the north end) just before the old Dico Bay Outdoor Gear Exchange. Travel about 1/4 mile\, and look for the NOSC sign at a pullout on your left.\n\n \n \nThis project is supported with funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act. The CCA supports Washington’s climate action efforts by putting cap-and- invest dollars to work reducing climate pollution\, creating jobs\, and improving public health. Information about the CCA is available at www.climate.wa.gov. \n  \nPhoto by NOSC

SUMMARY:Volunteer Planting – Serenity Lane
DESCRIPTION:Join NOSC on December 3rd to plant trees and shrubs along the Dungeness River!\nAn aerial image of the Dungeness River\, taken in 2020. Photo by John Gussman. \nAs part of an ongoing riparian forest restoration project\, we will be returning to the Dungeness River to plant trees and shrubs at the Serenity Lane Riparian Restoration Project. In previous years\, this site underwent a massive invasive species removal effort. We aim to fill in the remaining portion of the project with native plants. This diverse future forest will grow to shade the salmon stream\, control erosion\, and provide habitat for the birds\, insects\, amphibians\, and mammals that also call the Dungeness ecosystem home. \nPlanting Details:\nWednesday\, December 3rd \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. \nRiverbank lupine growing along the Dungeness River. Photo by John Gussman. \nAbout the Project:\nIn 2015\, the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe purchased and removed several homes at danger of washing into the Dungeness River. The Salmon Coalition joined the Dungeness River Riparian Project in a massive community effort to remove invasive species and replace them with native plants\, including seeding the area with riverbank lupine. In recent years\, Serenity Lane has been the site of several NOSC student plantings. It is time to return to the site to fill in remaining areas with native trees and shrubs\, ensuring invasive vegetation remains at bay. \n \n\nTop: A group of volunteers plant native trees and shrubs near the Dungeness River.

SUMMARY:Volunteer Planting – Dungeness River Nature Center
DESCRIPTION:Join NOSC on February 18th to plant trees and shrubs along the Dungeness River at the Dungeness River Nature Center!\nAn aerial image of the Dungeness River\, taken in 2020. Photo by John Gussman. \nJust 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! \nPlanting Details:\nWednesday\, February 18th \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. \n \n\nTop: A volunteer plants native plants along the Dungeness River.
