Do you have a love for the land, and the plants, animals and the other life it supports? Do you want to help take care of the special places you love? Do you spend your free time romping through the woods looking at plants and insects?
If you answered yes to any of these questions or wish you had, becoming a Site Steward with the Nisqually Land Trust may be a good fit for you! Our volunteer stewards "adopt" one of the Land Trust's properties in the Nisqually River watershed, and periodically monitor it for positive and negative changes, such as: wildlife signs, plant growth and regeneration, signs of trespass, invasive plant species, and many others. There is also the opportunity to do work on the land such as invasive species removal or trash collection as needed.
We ask that you complete at least 4 site visits a year. Once you communicate your interest, we will be in touch further to walk you through picking a site and set up a time to do an on-site orientation.
The Nisqually Land Trust protected areas are along the Nisqually River from the Olympia area to Ashford, WA.
