Bumblebee Habitat Restoration Day - Day 6

The Wenatchee River Institute received a gracious donation of 300 native plants from the Xerces Society and Derby Canyon Natives to help build habitat for endangered bumblebees. These donated native plants provide meaningful forage and nesting opportunities where bees are struggling. By helping plant, you're directly contributing to the recovery of at-risk bumblebees in the region! This is a fabulous way to support pollinators and continue to build resilient native plant habitat on the WRI campus. On Friday, October 23rd, we will have our 6th volunteer opportunity to get these plants all cozied up in the ground before winter sets in. Please RSVP for this date at the red button above to let us know you're coming! Find other dates to RSVP for here. This is a family friendly volunteer event! WRI will have the materials and hand tools available for the work. The more the merrier! Holes will be pre-drilled to make planting easier for all. Feel free to park at Wenatchee River Institute (for free). You will meet Tiffa Theden, WRI's Land Steward, at the Outdoor Classroom, and walk to the planting site together. If you arrive after 9:30am, head down the trail to the Native Plant Garden to find us. Don't forget to sign the Volunteer Waiver (link below) before the work party begins!
