Help Plant a Future Old-Growth Forest!

We have 1000 saplings that want to become an old growth forest. You can help!

Come join Our Forest Fund, Kitsap County Parks and other volunteers on Saturday Nov 30, 2024, 9am-12noon, for a special work party to interplant trees in newly thinned areas of the Port Gamble Forest Heritage Park (PGFHP).

The forest we will be working in is part of the 756 acres of trees which the community saved in 2022.

Last year’s Thanksgiving weekend tree-planting was very popular, so reserve your place now by clicking on this button: SORRY, THIS EVENT IS FULL

This is a great way to work off some of that Thanksgiving turkey and pie, while improving wildlife habitat and forest resiliency!

Some of Our Forest Fund’s tree-planting volunteers who came out last Valentine’s Day talked about why they came out to help:

If you’ve never planted trees before, this is your opportunity to learn about restorative forestry! Kitsap Parks Forest Stewards will teach you all you need to know to plant a legacy.

Meet at the main PGFHP trailhead (Bayview) parking lot on Hwy 104 at 9am. Dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes or boots and work gloves. Bring water and snacks if you so desire. Hot cider and coffee will be provided!

A tree planting shovel is a great tool to have!

If you have a narrow shovel, bring it along. See you there!
