Saturday Stroll through the West Bay Woods

Join us for a guided tour through the West Bay Woods!

Olympia Ecosystems’ Board President, Sarah Hamman, will lead a walk through the woods, discussing the history of the site, our restoration goals, restoration actions to date, and stewardship plans for the future. We’ll also discuss the important roles that urban forests play for local wildlife, stormwater quality, cultural resources, and human health. Any and all questions about plant ID are also welcome! We’ll have some coffee and water for folks to enjoy along the way so bring your coffee mugs and water bottles to fill for the casual Saturday stroll through the woods!
