This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
Learn about the threats to salmon on the Cowlitz river and the science behind restoration efforts. Featuring live fish! Presented by Lewis County PUD and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The average American generates an average of 1,600 pounds of trash during an entire year. WSU Lewis County Master Recycler Composter volunteers will help you move toward a zero waste goal. They will share techniques to reduce the amount of waste you send to the landfill, prolong the life of your food and demonstrate how to make your own toothpaste.
Your land is special to you, but how will you protect it in the future? Join us for a conversation with attorneys and other land owners and learn what options may be
available to you. A conservation easement for land with natural, agricultural or historic resources may also realize a federal tax savings.
