NEWS BRIEFS: Olympic Peninsula Humane Society shelter to resume adoptions Monday . . . and other items

PORT ANGELES — The Olympic Peninsula Humane Society will resume adoptions at its new location at 1743 Old Olympic Highway on Monday.

The shelter at 2105 U.S. Highway 101 has been closed since April 12 to allow the move to the new $1.5 million shelter between Port Angeles and Sequim.

A grand opening is planned sometime this summer after the animals, staff and volunteers have settled into their new quarters, said Mary Beth Wegener, executive director.

Clallam County residents who need to surrender an animal, have lost or found an animal or require the shelter’s assistance in some way can call the society at 360-457-8206 or email info@ophumanesociety.org.

Spring work set

DISCOVERY BAY — The Jefferson Land Trust will host a spring stewardship volunteer work party at Snow Creek Uncas Preserve, at the corner of West Uncas Road and Wycoff Road off U.S. Highway 101, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday.

The land trust will prepare the land for a school field trip, where students will visit forestry and stream learning sites as part of their annual water quality curriculum.

The task is to beat back nettles and create a maple-sheltered trail for the students to use.

The land trust will provide tools and gloves. Participants should dress for the weather and bring snacks and water.

For more information, email cclendaniel@saveland.org or phone 360-379-9501.
