Happy September! 🌤️🍃 As the summer winds down and crisper mornings hint at the coming fall, PCD has many opportunities to get outside and enjoy the lovely weather as we care for local green spaces. This month there'll be ✨TWELVE (12) ✨stewardship events across Pierce County, each one a fantastic chance to build community and make a positive impact on our region's natural spaces. 🌲🦅🏞️🐟

These work parties focus on caring for and enhancing native vegetation to promote healthy, biodiverse wildlife habitats and ecosystems. Volunteer activities can include removing invasive plant species, spreading mulch, litter pickup, and planting native and pollinator-friendly plants. 🌿🐝 No experience is necessary and Pierce Conservation District provides all necessary tools and training for these family-friendly events.
