Riverside - Volunteer Event - Forest Health - Thinning
Come join us near Bowl & Pitcher to thin a stand of overcrowded trees along Trail 211 (handsaws/loppers). Removing some trees will allow mature trees to grow larger, helps more light reach the forest floor to support understory vegetation, and reduces the fuel load in the event of a fire.

Riverside - Volunteer Event - Plant Maintenance
Come join us near the Little Spokane Natural Area to maintain some plants that were planted several years ago. We will be removing fencing that was installed around the plants in order to keep deer and other critters from munching on them. Now that the plants are well established, we will be removing the barrier fences.
