February 12 - Annual Committee outing at Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge

All are invited – Open to the public

Join the Conservation Committee for the annual nature hike and planning meeting. Meet at the visitor center at the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge at 9:00 am for a brief presentation on the progress being made to return a large part of the freshwater dike area to a natural estuary.

Also, participate in a brief discussion on Conservation priorities for the South Sound, Western Washington and as far and wide as your interests take you. This is your opportunity to contribute your thoughts and ideas for conservation and stewardship projects for the entire year.

At approximately 10:00 a.m., join in for an interesting and enjoyable hike on a portion of the old dike trail and a portion of the new boardwalk as is open at the time. Experience this unique Pacific Coast Estuary one of the few remaining (mostly) natural estuaries on the Pacific coast. The birding is wonderful this time of year. See forest, wetland, saltwater marsh and estuary wildlife.
