Join the Columbia Gorge Refuge Stewards the third Saturday of each month to do habitat restoration out on Steigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge. The work will vary, from planting native plants, to removing invasives, to building brush pile habitats, and more. We will be out rain or shine, so come dressed for the weather, including sturdy shoes and long pants (limited rain gear may be available upon request). We will provide all the tools, materials, and snacks. All ages welcome, but kids under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. We will meet at the trailhead at Steigerwald Lake NWR at 9am and travel together to the worksite.
