Nisqually Land Trust
Who We Are
Founded in 1989, the Nisqually Land Trust acquires and manages critical lands to permanently benefit the water, wildlife, and people of the Nisqually River Watershed. Rising from the meltwaters of an ancient glacier, the Nisqually River courses 78 miles through Mount Rainier National Park to its delta in the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge on Puget Sound. Today, the Land Trust protects over 6,500 acres in the Nisqually River Watershed, which are managed to promote the most beneficial habitats for fish and wildlife species. We work primarily in towns and cities near the Nisqually River and its large salmon-spawning tributaries.
What We Do
The Land Trust works closely with partners to provide opportunities for environmental education, citizen science activities, and habitat restoration projects. We host weekly Wednesday volunteer events year-round doing habitat restoration activities, like tree planting, invasive species control, trash pick-up, and more. We also host 2-3 Saturday volunteer events each month between September and May.
