Family-friendly volunteer sessions to get donated plants cozied up before winter!
The Wenatchee River Institute is receiving 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.
Please RSVP for this date to let us know you're coming!
This is a family friendly volunteer event! WRI will have the materials and hand tools available for the work. 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.
Don't forget to sign the Volunteer Waiver before the work party begins!
