BARKER MOUNTAIN VOLUNTEER DAY, SATURDAY, JUNE 25TH

Okanogan Land Trust and The Nature Conservancy invite you to a Barker Mountain Volunteer Day on Saturday, June 25th from 9:00am to 2:00pm. We will be removing old interior fencing that presents a danger to wildlife and fractures habitats. Volunteers will have the opportunity to improve the landscape and enjoy nature in a place usually closed to the public. Barker Mountain offers great views of the Cascades and possibilities for wildlife/bird viewing throughout the day!   We will meet at Beyer’s Market in Tonasket and caravan/carpool to Barker Mountain, as parking space is limited and the work site is difficult to find. Please arrive arrive early as the group will leave promptly at 9am.   This event will involve walking up to several miles over dense shrub steppe with minimal incline. Please bring leather gloves suitable for handling barbed wire, lunch, and plenty of water. We will provide extra water, light snacks, and tools. Bring fence pliers if you’ve got ’em. Trail-worthy shoes, long pants, long sleeved shirts, hats, and sunscreen are recommended.   Hope to see you there!   Email info@okanoganlandtrust.org or call (509) 557-6306 with any questions.
