From the Field
This blog follows Natural Resource teams and other partner organizations involved in Elwha watershed monitoring and restoration efforts into the field to get a boots on the ground look at current projects. You can follow along here:
Become a volunteer!
We have multiple projects that wouldn’t be possible without the support of community members like you! If you are interested in getting involved or would like more information, please follow this link to our volunteer interest form, so that we can connect you with the current project best suited to your availability, interests, and any gear or transportation needs.
Educational group and field trip information
We are able to accommodate some visiting groups to learn about Elwha River restoration, research and monitoring efforts since dam removal. Please note that Natural Resources staff availability to facilitate site tours is limited and not possible during some of our busiest field monitoring seasons, but we will do our best to support your experience and provide information to help you plan your visit. Please contact Justin.stapleton@elwha.org or (360) 457-4012 ext. 7481 to inquire.
