Project Description:

​

Improve habitat conditions in pre-commercially thinned areas of the Olympic National Forest.  This is a mature project that has been underway since 2014.  We use electric and gas powered chain saws and lots of labor to open travel lanes and create other habitat for elk/deer forage, and specialty habitats for bear and small mammal denning, salamanders, forest birds etc. 

Response from area wildlife has been spectacular as most species have returned to treated areas. 

​

The work party is a 2 day comfortable camping event where we provide food  and shelter in exchange for 2 days of work on the project.  We are basing out of the WDFW Clearwater Cabin or the US Forest Service offices in Quinault and accommodate rv's and tents also.

​
