This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
Each month, the Chehalis Basin Partnership hosts guest speakers to share news and information about the Chehalis River and water issues relevant to our communities. This month, guests from the Department of Ecology will share information on what to expect in terms of water quality regulations for stormwater, and tools for farmers, cities, and counties to reduce water pollution. Everyone is welcome!
Chehalis River Discovery Trail Field Studies (complimented by City-led tours of Centralia’s Wastewater Treatment Plant)
The Chehalis River Basin Land Trust needs your help!
We are looking for enthusiastic, nature-loving volunteers to assist with our May 2016 Chehalis River Discovery Trail, (CRDT) field studies for local underserved school children, grades 4-8.
During the field studies, students will discover the benefits of healthy riparian corridors to salmon, wildlife—and to humans!
The field studies are generally held from 9:30am to 1:30pm.
Share your love of the outdoors with the next generation!
Come to our May 11th field training, from 10:00am to 2:00pm at the Chehalis River Discovery Trail and become ready to be part of this hands-on science and nature program. Trained volunteers may also help with free summer nature walks along the CRDT for the public!
For more information, or to RSVP for the training, please contact Kathy Jacobson, kathyjacobsonCRBLT@gmail.com.
Funded in part by a grant from the Pacific Northwest Clean Water Association, Adopt-a School Program.

Join us to attack the invasive blackberry and Scots broom that threaten our beautiful natural area. We’ll also remove plant protectors that are no longer needed.
Bring work gloves, garden clippers and a water bottle; bring your lunch if you’d like to relax after the work and enjoy the trail (and maybe watch the eagles!!).
We will provide weed wrenches for the BIG stuff, and lots of encouragement.
Enjoy beautiful music under the trees with musicians from Bethel School of the Arts in downtown Centralia. Sing and play along, or just take in the sounds of sights in our second annual Music on the Hill interactive concert.
Venture into the woods, hunt for natural and interesting things, then use your creativity to make something from your imagination with artists from the Bethel School of the Arts.
This event is designed for beginning and intermediate tri-athletes on an open course. The sprint triathlon begins with 250-meter swim (15-minute heats) in an indoor 25-meter pool. Athletes then move on to a 16K bike ride through flat neighboring streets and a 5K run through scenic Fort Borst Park. Proceeds will be donated to ALS.
MLK Service Day: Our big planting event! Come on out to help us revitalize the Discovery Trail! Tasks include: planting native shrubs to compete with blackberry and reed canary grass; planting conifer trees among our large but short lived shade trees; improving stream-side ecology with new plantings; enjoying a cold winter’s day among friends and fellow ecologists.
Bethel’s School of the Arts is excited to announce their second Dinner Theater Event. Join us as we take a trip to the 1950’s for Food, Music and Fun! Invite your friends & family to the hottest spot in town, Uncle Phil’s Diner!
Performances are Saturday, February 18th at 1pm and 5:30pm, at Bethel Church – Chehalis Campus, 132 Kirkland Road (Exit 72).
