Help WDFW to plant native shrubs to restore critical shrubsteppe habitat after the 2022 fire. 

We will be planting sage brush and other native shrubs in the Whiskey Dick Wildlife Area Unit (a part of L.T. Murray Wildlife Area) on Nov. 9, 16, and 23 from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. This will require digging, bending, kneeling, and walking short distances. 

There are limited services (porta-potty and tools will be provided).  Dress for cool temperatures and wind (layers). Please bring gloves, beverage and lunch. No dogs please.
