Twin Rivers Ranch Riparian Planting
Sunday, February 26, 2012 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Join Capitol Land Trust in an ongoing restoration effort at the Twin River Ranch property located at the northern end of Oakland Bay, just six miles north of Shelton on Sunday February 26th 2012 from 10 to 2pm. 

Twin River Ranch is a 125 acre property conserved in 2009 by Capitol Land Trust. It has two salmon bearing streams on the east and west side called Deer Creek and Cranberry Creek. It also has 66 acres of wetland and almost a mile of marine shoreline, providing habitat for many of our salmon species and bird species. Along the creeks invasive plants such as Himalayan blackberry and Reed canary grass are being manually removed and we have planted thousands of native plants in these cleared areas but we still need your help to plant more. So grab a shovel and plant some trees and shrubs to combat and shade out invasives.  

Direction: 6 miles north of Shelton. Please email rony@capitollandtrust.org for more information. 

Please bring sack lunch. Light refreshment and water will provided. Tools and some gloves (bring if you have your own) will also be provided. 

Dress in clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty, rain jacket and rain boots are recommended because we'll be out whether rain or shine and the site is also muddy this time of year.

We required those under 12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and those that are under 18 who will not be accompanied must contact the event coordinator prior to the work party to get a release form. Please email rony@capitollandtrust.org for the wavier.
