Trautman Work Party

Volunteer Event - Forest Health - Thinning and Wood Chipping - Riverside State Park

-
Come join us at the Trautman Conservation Area in Nine Mile Falls to continue thinning overcrowded Ponderosa Pine & Doug Fir Stands. Removing smaller trees will allow more space and nutrients for the mature trees to grow larger. We will be using handsaws and loppers, then dragging the trees to the trail to feed the wood chipper.

Things to bring: 

-Discover Pass (we can supply you with one for the event)

-Gloves

-Eye and Ear Protection (we have some to share)

-Warm Layers

-Minors only (note from guardian giving permission to attend the event)

Volunteer Event - Riverside - Riparian Plant Maintenance

Join us along the Little Spokane River for riparian plant maintenance. Dogwood, Cottonwood, Aspen, and Willows were planted with cages placed around them to avoid critters munching on them. Now that the plants are well established and mature, it's time to remove the cages. There is also an invasive grass growing in this area. We can mow down the reed canary grass to avoid it going to seed and spreading.
