Earth Day @ Chehalis River Discovery Trail!
Saturday, April 22, 2023 - 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Show your support for natural resource protection and public spaces by participating in an invasive plant removal project at Chehalis River Discovery Trail. Learn about some of the noxious weeds that threaten our agriculture and natural ecosystems, along with some of the natives we like to encourage in these riparian areas. The Chehalis River Basin Land Trust will be there to show you some of the work they've done with the City of Centralia to improve salmon habitat along the Discovery Trail. Support will also be offered by the Lewis Conservation District and their Lewis County Stream Team.
The trailhead and associated parking will be located at the end of Goodrich rd. Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes or boots that can get wet and muddy. Youth under age 14 must be accompanied by an adult and all volunteers will be asked to sign a liabilty waiver.
We will be providing some gloves along with snacks and refreshments. Volunteers are encouraged to bring a reusable water bottle but we will provide bottled water also. There will be some tools provided, however, we ask that volunteers bring their own trowel (small hand shovel) if possible.
Get outside and celebrate Earth Day this year with this fun and educational work party!
