Trail Maintenance and Invasive Species Removal @ Spruce Roost Reserve
Volunteer at Spruce Roost Reserve for a fun day of stewardship at this stunning forested reserve along the North Fork of the Nooksack River.
Home to towering Sitka spruce, this land provides essential habitat for Pacific salmon, trout, and bald eagles. Lend a hand in restoring this critical ecosystem by helping to remove invasive species, maintain our access trail, and enhance riparian areas for local wildlife. We’ll also take a hike around the site to check on key aspects of the land. We can’t wait to spend a day in this gorgeous forest with you!
