Wenatchee Naturalist Program, Feb 1 - April 18

The Wenatchee River Institute, formerly Barn Beach Reserve, is proud to announce this new program to be held in the Wenatchee.  The course will feature the Wenatchee River watershed’s diversity of life, with a focus on the shrub-steppe, low-elevation forest, and  riparian eco-regions.  You will join other motivated and interesting adults who want to learn together about our local native plants and animals, habitats, and current natural resource issues. The aim of the Wenatchee Naturalist program is to cultivate and launch a corps of well-informed citizens who will actively volunteer for stewardship and conservation education projects within our community.
