The Wenatchee River Institute is receiving a gracious donation of 500 native plants from the Xerces Society and Derby Canyon Natives to help build habitat for endangered bumblebees. These donated native plants provide meaningful forage and nesting opportunities where bees are struggling. By helping plant, you're directly contributing to the recovery of at-risk bumblebees in the region! This is a fabulous way to support pollinators and continue to build resilient native plant habitat on the WRI campus.
Starting on Saturday, October 4th, we will be having recurring volunteer opportunities each Saturday and Thursday through Thursday, October 16th to get these plants in the ground. Please RSVP for this date at the red button above to let us know you're coming! Find other dates to RSVP for here: https://wenatcheeriverinstitute.org/support/volunteer.html.
This is a family friendly volunteer event! WRI will have the materials and hand tools available for the work. The more the merrier! Holes will be pre-drilled to make planting easier for all.
Feel free to park at Wenatchee River Institute (for free). You will meet Tiffa Theden, WRI's Land Steward, at the Outdoor Classroom at 10am, and walk to the planting site together.
