Site stewards "adopt" one of the Land Trust's properties and periodically monitor the property for changes, reporting their observations to the Land Trust. Volunteers are able to explore beautiful sites in the Nisqually River watershed, and it helps the Land Trust identify and address issues on their properties.

Habitat restoration work parties are held every Wednesday year-round and 2-3 Saturdays per month between October and May. Volunteering is a fun way to see Land Trust properties, exercise, and improve wildlife habitat at different locations throughout the Nisqually River Watershed, from Lacey to Ashford. Here are some of the activities volunteers are involved in: - Plantings - plant native trees and shrubs to restore or rehabilitate disturbed areas. - Plant maintenance - mulch around new native trees and shrubs and help remove plant protectors from established seedlings. - Weed control - cut or pull invasive weeds that threaten the health of native plants. Visit the calendar on website for upcoming events.
