Twilight Forest Tour – Shaw Island Summer 2024

An evening stroll in the forest

Join WSU Extension Forestry for a twilight forest tour at Osprey Pond on Shaw Island. On the tour we will see a wildlife pond and how the water level is managed, what an island landscape looks like after thinning and fuels reduction, and Garry oak plantings and pollinator habitat plantings. We will also talk about EQIP and other cost share programs that can help fund these treatments. This is an opportunity to ask questions, see another landscape, and meet fellow forest owners in a relaxed and casual manner. In addition to the tour, we will be having a dessert potluck at the end of the evening!

The tour may include walking over uneven terrain, so sturdy footwear is recommended. An outhouse and water will be available at the tour site. After our walk, we will return to the parking area to continue chatting and share desserts with one another. We do not have seating for everyone so please bring your own folding chair, if possible.
