- Volunteer with Pierce Conservation District on Saturday, October 5th, from 9 AM - 12 PM at Fircrest's Whittier Park. Stewardship work parties are crucial to maintaining healthy and biodiverse green spaces that make Pierce County a wonderful place to live.
- While the exact tasks at hand vary, our projects focus on improving the open spaces, forests, and parks in our local cities. Healthy ecosystems and thriving forests are vital to our community because they absorb and naturally filter rain water, produce clean oxygen, provide living spaces for wildlife, and create a place for people to connect with the outdoors.
- Caring for existing plantings
- Removing invasive species such as English ivy & Himalayan blackberry
- Installing native shrubs and trees
- Clothing that can get dirty
- Long pants and sleeves

Description
The Pierce Conservation District works with the community to improve water quality, promote sustainable agriculture, create thriving habitat, and build a just and healthy food system for all, through education, community engagement, and financial and technical assistance. Our district’s roots run deep in our community. Created in 1949 as part of a national response to the ecological disaster of the 1930s known as the Dust Bowl, we have worked for over 75-years to help local farmers, cities, and citizens address numerous sustainability challenges. Conserving our natural resources for future generations gets more difficult with each year, making the work of Pierce Conservation District more important now than ever.
