Spring Events

Here's a heads-up on some of our spring events!



"Native Planting 101"

We’ve had a lot of interest in our “Native Planting 101” workshop this year; it’s been really great to see that so many people are excited about restoration and/or landscaping projects using native plants! 

 As a result, we are pleased to announce that we will be holding a second workshop in 2012:

“Native Planting 101” Workshop

Thursday, April 5, 2012

12:30pm - 5:00pm

Link Transit Conference Area

2700 Euclid Avenue, Wenatchee

For more details about the “Native Planting 101” workshop, see my January 6th blog post.

Earth Day Essay Contest

The 2012 Earth Day Essay Contest has launched!  The essay contest is open to students who live in or attend school in Chelan or Douglas counties and who are in grades 6-8.   

Last year we received some great essays and are thrilled to offer this opportunity again. Read 2011 contest winner Eva Aneshansley’s essay in our newsletter article.

This year, the essay question is:

 

“What have you learned from nature and why is what you’ve learned important?”

The winning essay will be published in the Wenatchee World, Cascadia Conservation District’s quarterly newsletter, and posted on our website and other social media outlets.

The top three essay writers will get to spend a day “in the field” with a wildlife biologist from the U.S. Forest Service conducting white-headed woodpecker surveys!
