Caring for Nason Creek | Cuidando el Arroyo Nason | Chelan-Douglas Land Trust (cdlandtrust.org)

Latino Conservation Week provides opportunities for Latinos and all of our community to show their support for permanently protecting our land, water, and air. To honor this movement CDLT is hosting a fun morning at Nason Creek to 1) remove the invasive Spotted Knapweed, 2) enjoy a short walk together as we learn about the fish habitat restoration projects, and 3) have a small picnic near the water. Snacks will be provided by CDLT.

Every year, endangered Spring Chinook and threatened steelhead migrate up hundreds of miles of river, making their way to Nason Creek. Nason Creek is 49 minutes from Wenatchee near Lake Wenatchee.

Kids are welcome to attend. Spotted Knapweed is easy to remove. This plant is seeding right now so all plants will be bagged and thrown away.

This event is limited to 8 participants. More information will be emailed to participants after registration.

Please contact Elisa for more information or if you have any questions elisa@cdlandtrust.org.
