Volunteer to Assist with Our Native Plant Sale
Clallam Conservation District is seeking volunteers to help us with our annual Native Plant Sale. We have several shifts available to help us with various tasks including sorting the delivery of the plants, filling over 370 orders with 34,000 native plants, and assisting with distribution of the orders as customers pick them up. The events are a great time to meet new people and help Clallam County put more native plants in the ground!
All the events will be held at Lazy J Tree Farm located at 225 Gehrke Road in east Port Angeles. Events are filling up quickly; don’t delay registering if you would like to join us.

Volunteer Planting at Ediz Hook
DATE/TIME: March 6 (Thursday) from 1:00PM - 3:00PM
The Clallam Marine Resources Committee, Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, and Clallam Conservation District are teaming up again this year to improve the nearshore habitat on Ediz Hook. Volunteers are needed to help plant 3,500 bareroot native beach plants.
This planting is part of a large restoration project the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe completed in 2021 that involved removing piers and shoreline armoring such as concrete, riprap and metal, and replacing it with logs and clean beach sand and native coastal plants. The area has been planted before, so this will be the second round of enhancement planting in order to fill in gaps. The ultimate goal of this project is to improve habitat for forage fish and marine birds, as well as create recreation opportunities.
