Join Pierce Conservation District on Saturday, October 19th, for the annual Orca Recovery Day (ORD) work party at South Prairie Creek Preserve near Orting. ORD is an intentional day of action to build awareness and make a difference for Puget Sound’s iconic orca, the Southern Resident Killer Whales. Partner organizations host stewardship volunteer events around the region to promote healthy habitat for salmon, the Southern Residents' primary food source.

South Prairie Creek Preserve is one of the most productive salmon runs in the area and greatly contribute to supporting (and feeding!) our resident orcas.

The main event will take place from 9 AM - 12 PM and participants will plant a mix of trees and shrubs throughout the site to enhance salmon habitat along the creek. Child-friendly activities will be available and attendees are invited to join an optional 8 AM Bird Walk with PCD's resident Birder to appreciate and learn about the Preserve's thriving avian community.


What To Expect:
- Physical work - volunteers will plant many trees and shrubs
- Uneven terrain with wet and/or muddy ground
- A port-a-potty will be available on site
- Parking is limited; please carpool with your party, if possible
- Tools, gloves, and training will be provided (volunteers are welcome to bring their own gloves)


What To Bring:
- Dress for the weather and wear clothing that can get dirty. Please wear long pants and sleeves, sturdy, closed-toe shoes (no sandals or flats), a water-resistant jacket, and dress in layers.
- A full water bottle!

Volunteer with Pierce Conservation District from 10 AM - 12 PM at Adriana Hess Wetland Park in University Place on Friday, September 20th. Activities will include caring for existing plants in the demonstration gardens around the Bird Alliance building and removing invasive species such as Himalayan blackberry, non-native trees, and English ivy. This work supports water quality, our local wildlife, and pollinators. Exact meeting location will be provided after signing up.


What will volunteers be doing at the event?

While the exact tasks at hand vary through the year, our projects focus on improving the open spaces, forests, and parks in our local cities. Healthy ecosystems and thriving wetlands are vital to our community because they absorb and naturally filter rain water, produce clean oxygen, provide living spaces for wildlife, and create a place for people to connect with the outdoors.


In order to create healthy forests and riparian zones, the work can include:

- Caring for existing plantings
- Adding a layer of tree mulch in the restoration spaces to reduce regrowth of invasive weeds
- Removing invasive species such as English ivy & Himalayan blackberry


Volunteers are kindly requested to [bring/wear/have/etc.]:

- Clothing that can get dirty
- Long pants and sleeves
- Sturdy shoes (closed toed shoes required, no sandals or flats; terrain may be muddy or uneven)
- Rain gear and warm layers (the event will happen rain or shine)
- Full water bottle!


We will provide:

- All necessary tools and training.
- Gloves; participants are encouraged to bring their own but PCD will have loaners available.

We invite you to join us on H2Go: Experience the Journey for Water.

H2Go is more than just a walk - it's an immersive journey that can be shared with small or large groups, across multiple time zones, and around the globe. Participants are invited to walk, run, jog, skip, or wheel up to 5k while listening to a recording (available in any language) that shares the daily experience of getting water in one of the communities we serve. We encourage you to take this journey near a water source, whether it’s the ocean, a fountain, or even a path where you can get water from a vending machine. This helps illustrate the stark contrast between our easy access to water of any kind and the challenges faced by others.

If H2Go feels like too much of a time commitment, consider participating in a step challenge instead. Compare your daily steps to the distances many children around the world must walk to and from school and people must walk to gather water. Turn it into a friendly competition through team challenges, designed to encourage healthy habits while learning about the distances children and families often walk in a day. Whether you’re looking for a comprehensive experience or a quick, impactful activity, both our step challenge and H2Go offer a way to connect with our mission that fits your schedule.

Min/Max Participants: There is no minimum or maximum number of participants required.

Location: Flexible—these activities can be done anywhere.

Facilitation: Available as facilitated or non-facilitated, depending on your preference.

Repeatability: These activities can be conducted as frequently as you’d like.

Duration: Depending on the option chosen, the activity can take up to an hour.
