Volunteer leaders needed
Are you interested in taking a leadership role on restoration, construction and maintenance projects at Reiter Foothills Forest? The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) would like to train 10 to 20 individuals to serve as volunteer group leaders for our upcoming work parties, which will take place on the first Saturday and the third Sunday of each month. We are offering training from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., March 20 at the Reiter gravel pit parking area.
As a volunteer leader, you will:
Learn new skills and techniques.
Gain leadership experience.
Gain work experience. (Volunteer time counts hour for hour on state, county, and municipal job applications.)
Work, network, and socialize with like-minded individuals.
During work parties, volunteer group leaders will help direct volunteers, provide instruction on proper procedures, work alongside other volunteers, and assist DNR staff as needed.
The March 20 training will include:
Volunteer group leader responsibilities.
Communication protocols and ethics for group leaders.
Safety in the field.
Tracking and documenting volunteer efforts and work progress.
Field orientation.
This leadership orientation training is designed for those interested in overseeing volunteers who will be helping with restoration, construction and maintenance projects.
To sign up for the March 20 group leader training, contact David Way, 360-854-2830 or david.way@dnr.wa.gov and provide your name, e-mail address, and phone number.
Restoration work parties scheduled
If you are not interested in being a volunteer leader but would like to help with work projects, beginning in April, DNR will host work parties on the first Saturday and the third Sunday of each month. For more information, contact David Way.
Heres the schedule for the next few months:
Saturday, April 3

Reiter Non-motorized Trails Field Day Report
We had another successful field day on Saturday, February 27. We explored the possibilities for non-motorized trails and trailheads and talked with a State Parks ranger about linking trails with Wallace Falls State Park. Read more on our Blog at: http://bit.ly/a4l4l8
Focus Group to meet later this month
The first meeting of DNRs Reiter Foothills Focus Group will be in late March. We are looking for a diverse group of people to participate in monthly meetings with DNR staff. These meetings will be opportunities to engage in ongoing discussions about projects and management issues at Reiter Foothills Forest. For more information and details, contact Candace Johnson at 360-854-2803 or candace.johnson@dnr.wa.gov.

Long drive from here. But it's a very good cause.
I've said it before, whenever I leave the local OHV park, I pack out a bag of garbage plus whatever else I came with.

Of the 4 work days scheduled, I work on 2 of the days, the other 2 are "tweener" days. (work day before and after). So depending how much sleep I get would pend whether or not I could make it. That would make me not so reliable right now.
