POSTPONED: Chicken Creek Christmas Tree Placing

***THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER***

Check our events calendar for other volunteer opportunities!

Want to give recycled Christmas trees a new life as fish habitat? Join Friends of the Refuge and Trout Unlimited in placing Christmas trees donated by Cornell Farms in the National Wildlife Refuge’s restored Chicken Creek!

Woody debris in streams provides food and shelter for salmon, lamprey, trout, and other native species. Trees also help diversify stream habitat, slow flows, and decrease water temperatures. By volunteering you will give Chicken Creek and its fish a helping hand!

No prior experience is necessary. Training, gear, tools, and snacks will be provided. This project will involve navigating uneven terrain, stooping, and lifting up to 15 lbs.
