Planting the Prairie at the Naas Natural Area Preserve

By WCLT | Published: November 3, 2009 – 6:52 pm

After months of preparation and a prescribed burn in September, we are now preparing to plant approximately 20,000 prairie plants in the prairie restoration areas at the Naas Preserve. Volunteers, staff and contractors will be working together to share the fun.

Crew size for each of the three days will be limited to 6 people, but with volunteers working alongside experienced personnel. On-site training will be provided along with all of the necessary tools (and yummy refreshments). The dates and times for each shift are listed below. We may also need a few volunteers for the following week (November 16-19) to assist a contracted restoration crew.

If you are interested in helping, please RSVP with the date and time that you prefer. It is a first-come first-served arrangement, so please let us know soon. We will send you details and directions the week before the planting.

We look forward to seeing everyone!

To RSVP contact Jessica Larson at Jessica@wclt.org or call 360-222-3310 to reserve your spot.
