The Nisqually Land Trust is hosting two Nature Walks at its celebrated Ohop Creek Restoration Area on Saturday, October 26^th, from 12:30 – 2 pm and again at 2:30 – 4 pm. The walks are free of charge, sponsored by the Olympia branch of HomeStreet Bank.

Ohop Creek is one of two major tributaries to the Nisqually River and historically sustained large populations of Chinook, coho, pink, steelhead and cutthroat trout. Restoration of Ohop Creek plays a key role in providing salmon habitat and spawning grounds. Ohop Creek restoration was featured in River of Kings, a PBS documentary last fall as a model for salmon recovery efforts.

We will walk creek side along the meandering, reconstructed Ohop Creek and through native vegetation planted in the first phase of restoration. Join us to learn about the history of the site, how engineered logjams create salmon habitat, past restoration, and why this valley is a critical link in salmon recovery efforts.

Space is limited and registration is free but required. Contact the Nisqually Land Trust at 360-489-3400 or staff@nisquallylandtrust.org for more information and to register.
