North Olympic Land Trust will host a work party and a tour this weekend.
The group is seeking volunteers to help with the planting of 400 trees and 200 shrubs along Siebert Creek on Saturday.
The work party will be ongoing during the day, but the sessions will generally be held from 10 a.m. to noon and from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Volunteers should bring tree-planting shovels if they have them, but there will also be some available at the site.
Wheelbarrows are also needed to move mulch.
Snacks will be available, but volunteers should bring a lunch if they plan to stay all day.
The work party will take place at the end of Siebert Creek Road, which is off U.S. Highway 101 between Port Angeles and Sequim, just east of the Old Olympic Highway turnoff.
RSVPs are appreciated but not necessary.
To RSVP or if you have questions, phone Lorrie Campbell, stewardship manager, at 360-417-1815, ext. 4, or e-mail lorrie@nolt.org.
Tour of properties
A Conservation Easement Tour of five properties in the Dungeness area will be held Sunday.
To take the tour, meet at the old milking shed at approximately 4000 Sequim-Dungeness Way at 1 p.m.
The tour will showcase 142 acres via a 3.5-mile round-trip hike, though a shuttle will be available for those wishing to hike one-way for 1.75 miles.
The properties are privately owned and protected by a permanent conservation easement.
These properties are not open to the general public but will be open for this tour.
Attendees will hike through farmland and wetlands, which can never be developed, and will also see a wetland restoration project and meet the landowner.
The wetlands are often filled with waterfowl, including ducks and swans, and other birds like hawks and eagles.
Participants should bring binoculars and wear waterproof boots.
There is limited parking, so carpool if possible.
For more information, phone or e-mail Campbell.
