Summary

Help us as we remove old fencing along this vital wetland preserve.

Description

A combination of Preserves and Conservation Easements provides protection for a lush marsh area on Lopez Island. This work party will be to remove old metal fencing along property lines of the past. We will do our best to navigate around the really wet areas, but rubber boots are encouraged. There will be some back and forth removing cumbersom peices of metal, but we will treat you to humor, good company, and snacks throughout the workday!

Listed start and end times are approximate. Work parties typically last 3-4 hours and are timed to meet ferry schedules. Details about when and where to meet, etc., will be emailed to registered participants prior to the event.
