This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
Every winter, the Chehalis Land Trust Team plants over 50 trees along the river at Discovery Trail to help support the reinvigoration of this critical habitat!
Please join our November 30th Work party at Chehalis River Discovery Trail to prepare the planting sites for the Winter 2024 tree group.
Work will include removing invasive thistles, invasive canary grass, scouting tree locations, learning tree species, and digging and planting trees.
The hike to our planting site is about 1/2 mile or less. Garden tools will be provided, but if you have gloves and other tools and gear you enjoy using feel free to bring those along!
Join us January 17, 2025 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at Centralia College for a viewing of The Lost Salmon, which “chronicles the plight and potential recovery of the iconic spring chinook salmon of the Pacific Northwest. Faced with extinction in many river systems of the West, a new genetic discovery could aid in their recovery. Once teaming in the millions and a sacrament for the oldest civilizations in the Americas, time is running out for the genetically distinct wild salmon” (PBS). Come eat popcorn and discuss what we can do to help save this incredible fish that call our rivers home!
Join us for a lovely potluck celebrating local food grown and preserved by hard-working farmers and community members. Music by Prairie Fire.
Our preservation dinner aims to complement the lively fall harvest dinners that happen in the community. In late winter as we emerge from the cold, dark weather, we can remember the fruits of our labor as we savor preserved goods from our abundant summer and fall harvests. We can celebrate the continuation of the cycle of life that connects us all. We want to offer an evening to showcase local food, nutrition programs, and farmer opportunities. Farming is connection to community eating, health, and environmental sustainability. Please come and see what is happening in our community and share what you may be doing as well.
Calling all producers, growers, grocers, markets, local food banks, food access programs, chefs & restaurants focusing on local produce, community & school gardens, folks who simply love delicious food grown with heart. Kids are welcome. Join us, and let’s unite our missions!
Tickets are free with suggested donation; registration required.
