join the polk swcd Conservation Crew for earth day!
Join us for an Earth Day event at Baskett Slough as we volunteer to help clean up litter in partnership with Andante Vineyard. Baskett Slough is part of the Willamette Valley National Wildlife Refuge Complex. It’s 2,492 acres provides wetland and woodland sanctuary for migratory and resident wildlife which range from the rare, endangered butterfly, Fender's blue, to the prolific black-tailed deer.
We will meet at 10am in the main parking lot on Coville Rd., where there are bathroom facilities. We will go over some safety protocols. From there, we will split up and pick up litter along the roads and trails from 10am-12pm. Please bring your own water and work gloves. All other supplies will be provided. All ages welcome. Volunteers will need to sign a liability waiver.
For those 21 and over, if you are able to join us afterwards at Andante Vineyard, please enjoy a complimentary glass of wine on the patio to celebrate Earth Day and a less polluted Refuge!
Andante is a reservation-only tasting room. Please check out their website (andantevineyard.com) if you would like to reserve a full experience (tasting and/or food).
