Orca Recovery Day
Saturday, October 14th, 10 am – 2 pm
Squaxin Park, Olympia
Orca Recovery Day is an intentional day of action to build awareness about the challenges facing Puget Sound’s local orca pod, the Southern Resident Killer Whales.
Our local orca population relies on the endangered Chinook salmon as their main food source to survive. Due to habitat loss, climate change, and increased pollution, it has become even more difficult for migrating salmon to make the journey home to grow their population. In order to save our orcas, we must start with our salmon.
Every year more native plants are planted, more invasive species are removed, and more acres of habitat are restored because of our community’s response on this day of collective impact.
Join us as we remove non-indigenous plants and replace them with native species!
No experience necessary. Sign up to volunteer here: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/d224c6697b514c45b5e05f28ca14be1b
