Join us this May for two days of volunteer land tending outside Chinook, Washington
This spring, Columbia Land Trust is organizing two volunteer stewardship events at two conserved forested wetlands along Baker Bay in Washington. These sites, at the mouths of the Chinook and Wallacut rivers, are located in the ancestral lands of the Chinook Indian Nation and are home to an incredible array of wildlife.
Wallacut River Confluence: “Wallacut” is located where the Wallacut River runs into Baker Bay. The Land Trust reconnected more than 100 acres of tidal floodplain here in 2016, and the land is home to an incredible array of wildlife, from bear and deer to ruby kinglets and song sparrows.
Chinook River Confluence: Conserved by the Land Trust in 2024 and stretching along Baker Bay for more than a mile, this site is home to 197 acres of intertidal wetland habitat that supports migratory waterfowl, shorebirds, and other species.
