Volunteer with the Center for Natural Lands Management! We focus on prairie restoration and conservation in the south Puget Sound area.
We hold weekly work parties every Tuesday from 9:00-3:00 and every Friday from 9:00-3:00, as well as on the second Saturday of each month. Our Tuesday work parties range in location and the type of work we do - we work on various prairies throughout Thurston County doing everything from invasive species removal, planting, pile burning, and much more! Our Friday work parties are centered around our plant propagation and seed harvesting/cleaning work, and take place at either Shotwell's Landing Nursery in Rochester or at Violet Prairie Seed Farm in Tenino.
Carpooling to our work parties is available from our office in downtown Olympia - please give at least 24 hours notice if you plan on using this. Please contact ssvolunteers@cnlm.org for questions or more information about these events!
