ORIENTATION: March 3, 2012 - we take the team of 14 people onto the WSU 4-H Gibbs Lake Challenge Course for team building. We will review safety procedures and school credit opportunities so participants have that background before beginning their workdays. Meet at the WSU Extension office (201 W. Patison) at 9 am to start. We will transport youth at 10:30 am to the challenge course in the 4-H van. We will return to WSU no later than 3:30 pm.

May 12 - campground work with Lynn Kindred - he works out of Quilcene in developed recreation but he's a seasonal so he won't be coming on until April.
PICK UP AND DROP OFF: Be ready to go from the Chimacum High School parking lot at 8:30 am – we will return no later than 5 pm.
CLOTHING: Please wear layers so you can stay warm and you MUST have shoes or boots that come up to protect your ankles. TENNIS SHOES ARE NOT ALLOWED. Water bottles are also necessary as well as lunches. We provide rain gear, tools, gloves and hard hats.
We will have one USFS scientist attend on each of these work days to coordinate projects such as riparian plantings, campground cleanups, watershed cleanups, salmon carcass returns to riparian zones, plantings on decommissioned roads, and picnic table restorations.
WATERSHED CLEANUP DAY: We will host the Watershed Cleanup Day on April 21 since Earthday is the next day. Ian Jablonski from the Water Department with the City of Port Townsend and Mary Pitts from WSU Beachwatchers, as well as the general public will join us on that day. HELP US RECRUIT COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS TO JOIN US THAT DAY - REFER THEIR NAMES AND CONTACT INFORMATION TO PAMELA ROBERTS.
