Hooray! It's 2018! And now that you've had time to relax from your holiday celebrations, what better way to kick off the New Year than to become a New Volunteer? Come join the Center For Natural Lands Management on Saturday, January 6th for the first New Volunteer Orientation of the year!
The Center for Natural Lands Management-South Sound Prairies Program (CNLM) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection, enhancement, and restoration of prairie and oak habitats of the Pacific Northwest. The South Sound prairies are one of the rarest ecosystems in North America, and we need your help to protect this beautiful landscape and the species it supports!
New Volunteer Orientation will be held from 10:00 am-12:00 pm at Glacial Heritage Preserve. The orientation will begin with an introduction from our Volunteer Coordinator, followed by an information session explaining: who we are, what we do, where we work, and typical restoration activities our volunteers participate in on a weekly and monthly basis. It is a great opportunity for you to learn about us, and for us to learn about you! Volunteers of all ages are welcome, and families are encouraged!
As part of the new volunteer orientation volunteers will get a walking tour of Glacial Heritage Preserve as well as an opportunity to help us restore this wonderful piece of Thurston County prairie.
Please dress warm, bring a boxed lunch, plenty of water, and gloves if you have them (we do have some available, but our supply is limited).
If you would like more information please email Angela and Gaby (ssvolunteers@cnlm.org), or visit our website (southsoundprairies.org) and Facebook page.
