When the Forest Flies
In September 2020, thanks to the funding from the state Washington State Coast Restoration and Resilience Initiative, The Nature Conservancy completed a step towards whole system restoration of our coastal streams on our Olympic Forest Reserves. The grant funded a series of thinning, planting of native riparian trees, weed treatments, and, most impressively, the installation of large woody debris jams "log jams" in Shale Creek, a tributary of the Clearwater and Queets River.

Adventures in Field Science from Port Susan to Moses Coulee
Participating in the adventures of field science as volunteer with Stewardship has taken me across the state, from Port Susan Bay to Moses Coulee. The experiences have been great opportunities to learn about the important and innovative studies we are doing at our preserves and a way to contribute to the bigger picture of conservation.
Lives of the Land Stewards
The Stewardship Team here in Washington has a big job: to care for about 47,000 acres in 33 preserves and 11 easements scattered across the state, from tiny Deadman Island, less than 2 acres in the San Juans, to the Moses Coulee/McCartney Creek/Beezley Hills complex of preserves covering more than 30,000 acres in the sagelands of Central Washington. Meet 4 team members and see videos of the work they do.
