Elwha Restoration/Olympic National Park via Peninsula Daily News

WANT TO BE even more involved in the Elwha Restoration?

Now is your chance! Working with Jill Zarzeczny at Olympic National Park, we have set up 4 days of volunteer opportunities to help in the propagation of plants used to revegetate the newly exposed reservoirs.

Volunteers will be working in the Matt Albright Native Plant Center to help with transplanting seedlings that will be used later in the revegetation project.

At the end of the day, the group will take short hike along a newly constructed trail leading to a viewing platform to see in person the former site of the lower Elwha Dam.

Only 12 people can be accommodated each day, so sign up early!

Elwha Restoration Volunteer Days

10 AM – 2 PM (including break for lunch)

Followed by optional Lower Dam Viewing Platform Hike (2:00 PM – 4:00 PM)

The native plant center is located in Robin Hill Farm County Park between Port Angeles and Sequim.
