Turnbull Wildlife Refuge and Spokane Audubon Society are hosting a community work party Saturday, Oct. 4 from 9 a.m. – noon at the refuge. This is part of an ongoing effort to restore native riparian habitat that benefits area wildlife species, with volunteers planting native saplings and building fencing to protect trees.
Everyone is welcome to participate. Refuge officials ask that groups register in advance in order to assistance planning details.
Participants are encouraged to wear long-sleeved shirts, work pants and sturdy work boots or shoes and to bring gloves and if possible, shovels and pliers.
The refuge will host a potluck lunch, with hamburgers provided by the Friends of Turnbull. Please bring a favorite dish as well. Contact Sandy Rancourt at 235-4723 to coordinate.
Turnbull is located five miles south of Cheney on Cheney-Plaza Road. Work party participants should meet at the refuge headquarters, located two miles from the entrance to the beginning of the auto loop.
