10:00 am - 3:00 pm

Summer has officaily arrived on the prairies! Wildflowers are blooming in full glory at this time of year while butterflies and migrating bluebirds and swallows are zooming overhead. This is a time of year not to be missed! Please come out on Saturday June 20th to join our environmental restoration work party as we work to control encroaching invasive species as well as gather seeds from rare native wildflowers and grasses to help propagate them in the future.

Dress for the weather, bring a lunch & water and we'll provide the rest.  Work will begin at 10 am and continue until 3pm. You may stay for as much of that time as you choose.

Directions:

From I-5: Take exit 99 and head east on 93rd street.  When 93rd dead-ends onto Old Hwy 99, turn right and continue to head south. At Waldrick Road turn left and continue until it ends at Military Road. Turn left and continue until Military meets Rainier Road at the blinking red light.  Turn left onto Rainier Road and continue for about half a mile.  Look for the "Tenalquot Prairie Work Day" sign and turn left off of Rainier Road.  Follow the gravel road to the gate and park.
