About

Join Palouse Conservation District for a volunteer planting event to celebrate Orca Recovery Day, a statewide campaign to restore vital habitat for the orca's food source, Chinook salmon, and work to create better ocean conditions for the orcas.

Far from ocean waters, surrounded by a sea of rolling hills, you can be part of the solution on Saturday, October 15th from 9am-12pm. Volunteers will be participating in a stream restoration project along Paradise Creek to address water quality issues. This is a family-friendly event.

The water quality of creeks and rivers of the Palouse have a direct impact on the bodies of water downstream. Urban development, agricultural runoff, and soil erosion have changed our creeks creating degraded water conditions. Restoration efforts including planting native plants along stream banks, improves soil and water quality and creates habitat for wildlife.

Volunteers will meet on Paradise Creek, along the Bill Chipman Trail. The exact location will be provided to participants prior to the event. Tools and gloves will be provided.

Be sure to wear closed-toed shoes and long pants, dress for rain or shine, and bring some water!

This event may be canceled due to high water or weather. Participants will be contacted if cancellation occurs. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this causes. 

Palouse Conservation District's mission is to foster the voluntary conservation of natural resources by providing the tools, education, technical expertise, and financial assistance to support our local community. PCD works through voluntary, incentive-based programs to assist landowners and agricultural operators with the conservation of natural resources throughout the District.
