Volunteer Projects 2007
Volunteers helped us tremendously so far this year with our restoration projects. They helped us on our various sites, in our Learning Nursery, and at PCEI's' campus on Rodeo Drive.

Volunteers were vital to the success of our Pantry Garden by doubling the size and constucting a rock wall to contain the overflow of produce!

Volunteers helped plant trees and maintain our restoration sites all over Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington. A lot of concentration was put towards giving the native vegetation an edge over the reed canarygrass and other noxious weeds.

Also, the volunteers came out in a big way for our two stream clean-ups this year: The 17th Annual Paradise Creek Clean-Up and the 3rd Annual Pullman Stream Clean Up on Missouri Flat Creek.

Thanks to all our great volunteers!

Working with Watersheds
We start many new projects this fall, and will hold a lot of events over the next few months in an effort to get everything done before winter sets in. We are currently seeking volunteers for our upcoming stream restoration work on Deep Creek in Potlatch, Partridge Creek outside Elk River and on the Three Mile Creek in Grangeville, ID. Both individuals and groups are always welcome. Please get in touch with Courtney Rush for more information.
