Throughout the months of January, February and March, we planted nearly 11,300 trees with the help of 175 students, 100 volunteers, and our 5 Washington Conservation Corps crew members. This helped improve the salmon habitat at 13 different sites across the Peninsula and offsets approximately 48,759.5 tons of carbon!

We had 70 new and 30 returning volunteers help us plant trees along Salmon Creek, Siebert Creek and the Dungeness River. THANK you to our wonderful volunteers for all of your hard work and to the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe and North Olympic Land Trust for partnering with us on these events!

Our volunteers planted a variety of native trees and shrubs including Western Redcedar, Sitka spruce, Douglas fir, Western hemlock, Cottonwood, Nootka rose, Salmonberry, Snowberry, Oceanspray, Pacific Ninebark and Douglas Spirea.

As a part of the Real Learning Real Work program, students from Blue Heron planted trees along Salmon Creek and Chimacum Middle School planted trees along Chimacum Creek.

Throughout winter our Washington Conservation Corps (WCC) members planted numerous sites across Jefferson and Clallam counties including partner sites on the Pysht and Elwha River with the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe.

We are very grateful for all of the volunteers, students, WCC members and community partners that made this planting season a success! We look forward to planting trees with you all again next year!
