Upcoming Events

Maintenance Parties: Help us in maintaining our demonstration hedgerows by tackling weeds and protecting plants from elk and deer. You’ll hear about these hedgerow projects from the designers themselves and learn about the methods used, successes & challenges, and the benefits that a hedgerow can provide on a wide range of sites, from working lands to urban yards. This is also a fun way to bolster your plant ID skills. Come for the camaraderie & stay for the learning! Register here.

“Discover Hedgerows” Success Tours: Join us to hear first-hand from the farm’s owners, our Thurston Conservation District colleagues, and the original hedgerow designers on our team about the installation methods used and successes/challenges so far. We’ll dive into how the hedgerow’s initial design is expected to meet the farmers’ goals; the budget/costs, required farmers’ time, and grants that supported the initial installations; the irrigation system pros & cons; plant survival rates; and lessons learned so far on our very first demonstration hedgerow!
