Are you a land manager with a stream or creek running through your property? Are you interested in learning about restoring stream health or enhancing wildlife habitat? Join us on Wednesday, June 3rd from 4 - 6 pm for a guided tour of a riparian restoration project along the South Fork of the Palouse River, about 6 miles southeast of Pullman. Participants should be prepared to walk up to a mile over uneven terrain and should dress for outdoor conditions; long pants and close-toe shoes are recommended. This event is free and open to the public, though registration is required as parking is limited. Exact location will be provided via email upon registration.

This field-based tour will highlight practical restoration strategies designed to:

Reduce erosion

Stabilize streambanks

Improve water quality by filtering sediment and nutrients

Enhance wildlife corridors

Improve aesthetics with native trees and shrubs

Participants will also learn about upcoming funding opportunities and technical support available to help meet conservation goals. Come see how thoughtful restoration can benefit your land and local waterways!

This event is made possible by funding from the Washington State Department of Ecology, Washington State Conservation Commission, and Washington’s Climate Commitment Act. The CCA supports Washington’s climate action efforts by putting cap-and-invest dollars to work reducing climate pollution, creating jobs, and improving public health. Information about the CCA is available at www.climate.wa.gov.

The Walla Walla Subchapter of the Washington Native Plant Society will be hosting their annual free, self-guided "Go Natives!" native plant garden tour on Saturday, June 6. Participants should register between 8:30 am and noon at the Whitman Street picnic shelter on the south side of Pioneer Park (adjacent to the lake and bathroom, near the softball field) to receive a list of participating garden locations with a map. A gardener will be present at each site until 1:00 pm to answer questions about how they have developed and maintain their native plantings. Six gardens are new to the tour this year, including one in College Place. Several special events are also planned for the day, including talks on pesticide use and pollinator impacts by the Walla Walla Basin Watershed Council. A plant sale featuring many local natives will be held both Saturday and Sunday from 9:00am to 3:00pm at 108 Green Street in Walla Walla.

Registration is required. Registration closes on Wednesday, June 10th at 5:00 pm.

The tour will begin at a site five miles west of St. John, WA. Participants will travel to a second site about 7 miles away between Rock Lake & Pine City, WA, then travel to a third site about 8 miles away near Pine City, WA, and conclude back at the second site for lunch.

Healthy rivers and salmon are vital to our way of life in the Pacific Northwest, but Columbia Basin salmon, steelhead, and other native fish are in crisis. Most wild salmon and steelhead runs persist at a fraction of their historic abundance and geographic distribution, and some (including three of five in the Snake River) persist at less than one percent of their historic abundance. Our region’s future is at stake, and our advocacy is more important now than ever.
Join Save Our wild Salmon Coalition on Zoom in taking collective action to protect salmon and defend the historic progress made towards salmon recovery by attending a virtual salmon advocacy action hour, occurring on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 12:30-1:30pm AND 5:30-6:30pm PT (afternoon and evening sessions are identical).
Join to hear updates from experts on issues impacting salmon recovery and the health of the Columbia/Snake Rivers, ask questions, and, most importantly, get resources and information about how you can take action NOW. We will provide resources and support for all levels of salmon advocates, whether you want to take quick online action, like contacting your representative or submitting a public comment, or spend more time on your advocacy by writing a letter to the editor or hosting a postcard-writing party.
