Volunteer with Pierce Conservation District at South Prairie Creek Preserve from 9 AM - 12 PM on Saturday, September 21st. After a successful planting season at the Preserve, there are thousands of baby shrubs and trees needing fresh rings of mulch around their base to improve their chances of survival. Mulch rings help plants retain water, keep soil cool on hot days, suppress potential invasive competition, and provide organic material to support healthy soil. Spreading mulch is a fun and easy way to contribute to the restoration of this critical salmon (and other wildlife!) habitat.

Our district’s roots run deep in our community. Created in 1949 as part of a national response to the ecological disaster of the 1930s known as the Dust Bowl, we have worked for over 65-years to help local farmers, cities, and citizens address numerous sustainability challenges. Conserving our natural resources for future generations gets more difficult with each year, making the work of Pierce Conservation District more important than ever.
