Pierce County NWF Habitat Stewards Training

NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO BECOME A HABITAT STEWARD!

The National Wildlife Federation, in partnership with Adriana Hess Audubon Society in University Place, are offering a specialized 24-hour training to teach you how to help others create and restore wildlife habitat in backyards, schoolyards, and other private and public areas. This program is engaging, fun and highly informative and you get to meet and interact with local conservation professionals and other similarly interested folks!

Benefits include: an NWF volunteer t-shirt, 24 hours of hands-on training, engaging field trips, a comprehensive training manual with local resources, instruction from local professionals, and continued support from NWF staff.

A variety of topics will be presented on habitat restoration, PNW ecology, natural yard care, invasive plants, native plants, & much more! Presenters will be announced soon!

Classes will be held over a period of 2 weeks on Mondays and Thursdays in late June in the board room at Adriana Hess Audubon Society (2917 Morrison Rd W, University Place, WA 98466) from 6-9 pm. Field trip sessions will be held on two Saturdays (June 23rd and June 30th).

*Scholarships are available! No one will be turned down to lack of funds. Email WAEducation@nwf.org for more information.

**A 30-hour volunteer commitment within a year after the training is required. We will provide coffee, tea, and snacks at each training session and you are welcome to bring a brown bag dinner. Local food businesses occasionally provide donations and we will inform participants ahead of time in this case.

If you would prefer to pay using a check, please email WAEducation@nwf.org to register! See you in June!
