Introduction to the Census @ Vernetta Smith Chehalis Timberland Library
Feb 21 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm

Once every ten years the Census takes a snapshot of who we are. The data collected helps determine how many representatives we have in Congress, where roads, bridges, and other infrastructure are built, and how much federal money our communities receive. It’s crucial that everyone is counted once and in the right place.

If you’re interested in learning how you or your organization can be part of this effort, join us for this training. We’ll look at the history of the Census, how it has changed over the years, and how it affects our lives today.

We can’t wait to see you there!

Restoration at Discovery Trail

Your help is needed. We have removed blackberry along the trail and need to plant native shrubs to slow the return of this problem plant. All the plants are bare-root and must be put in the ground quickly. Many hands make light the work – bring your friends.

We will have hot drinks, water and snacks available. Please dress for the weather (cool and damp, with rain showers). Bring a shovel if you can and your favorite gloves. Questions? Please email office@chehalislandtrust.org.
