Willow Planting at Thompson Creek
Our first stewardship work party of Spring 2026 is scheduled for Wednesday, March 4! We’ll be at our Thompson Creek-Stanley Marsh Habitat Reserve from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. to plant willow and celebrate beaver habitat with our partners from the Necanicum Watershed Council.
Willows provide food and building materials to beavers. The dams those beavers build result in broader wetlands, enhancing habitat for a wide variety of wildlife, from salmon to waterfowl. People of all ages and abilities are welcome. Volunteers will gather at the pump house at Thompson Creek, on the east side of Seaside off Lewis and Clark Road. We will send out directions to registrants ahead of the event.
Bring a lunch and water. Wear waterproof boots and work gloves if you have them, although we will also bring supplies to use. There are no toilets on the property. Dogs are not allowed on NCLC’s habitat reserves.
