Volunteers needed for Wenatchee River Appreciation event

Spend a morning of work and fun restoring the banks of Brender Creek

WENATCHEE – The Cascadia Conservation District is seeking community volunteers to take part in a cleanup effort at the Cashmere Mill Site on Saturday, April 25 from 9 a.m. - noon.

Volunteers will assist with weed removal and planting of native species along Brender Creek, a tributary to the Wenatchee River. Cascadia Conservation District will also provide fun, hands-on education activities, including watershed and stream models, a fish anatomy puzzle, and more. Refreshments will also be provided.

The event is part of a larger community effort at the Cashmere Mill site to remove or reuse thousands of tons of old wood waste, remove contamination, and restore river habitat. Following this effort, the previously vacant site will be open for new business development.

“River appreciation events are great opportunities to engage with Cascadia Conservation District and learn about our efforts and the efforts of our partners to improve quality of life in our community,” said Amanda Levesque, education and outreach specialist at the district.

For more information or to volunteer, please call Amanda Levesque at 509.436.1601.
