Stream Team Grass Stomp

Stream Team Grass Stomp

The Lewis County Stream Team planted trees along Mill Creek to improve water quality and enhance wildlife habitat. This spring the trees need our help to survive against the reed canary grass, which blocks out sunlight and nutrients. Join us Saturday to help cut and stomp grass in a circle around the trees. Show off your best dance moves!

Directions: 266 Jefferies Road, Chehalis, Washington. Meet at the gravel parking lot located on the right side after Glenview Lane. Look for the salmon signs.

**Work gloves and refreshments provided. Bringing your own tools is welcome. Please bring appropriate footwear for wet areas. This event is family friendly.
