Join Thurston Conservation District, City of Olympia, and WDFW at Squaxin Park (Formerly Priest Point Park) for our annual Orca Recovery Day! Volunteers are invited to be a part of the solution for our endangered Southern Resident orca whales. During this restoration event, we will work together to restore forested habitats to their intended state by planting Pacific Northwest trees and shrubs. The day will also include a guided shore walk, refreshments, and a chance to learn about other organizations helping to better our orcas!
Being a part of Orca Recovery Day is an opportunity for you to make a difference for our endangered Southern Resident orca whales!
