Anderson Island Invasive Blackberry Removal

Join us for a morning work party at South Oro Bay on Anderson Island. We'll be pulling invasive blackberry to prepare the site for planting this winter.

This is a 3-hour work party beginning at 9:00 AM and ending at 12:00 PM. Volunteers who do not live on Anderson Island should plan to catch the 8:20 am ferry out of Steilacoom, WA. We will conclude in time for attendees to line up for the 12:45 pm ferry.

The ferry costs a $23.75 round-trip for an average size vehicle (includes driver) and $7.75 per additional passenger (adult, non-senior). You can see more details about ferry costs at this link. Learn more about ferry times here.

Once on the island, please plan to drive to the work site -- it is about a 10-minute drive from the ferry terminal. Register to receive driving directions to the worksite.

We will be working rain or shine so dress appropriately for the weather. Tools, work gloves, water, and snacks will be provided.

Thank you for helping us restore the Nisqually watershed! We hope to see you there.
