Description
Volunteer with Mason Conservation District and YMCA of Shelton for the 3rd Annual Orca Recovery Day! Group sizes will be limited 10 persons to follow COVID guidelines.
Volunteers will assist with planting Camas bulbs which will help decrease storm water runoff into local waterways and increase biodiversity at this newly developed property.
Orca Recovery Day was inspired by the declining population of Southern resident orcas. With just over 70 individuals left in the local population, we must act now. By working to improve salmon habitat, we can help provide a food source and clean waters to save the most iconic species of the Pacific Northwest. As we restore our shorelines, there will be more forage fish such as sand lance and smelt, giving the salmon more food and therefore more food for the orcas.
Volunteers must fill out a waiver. Minors are welcomed if accompanied by an adult.
