Plant a Tree for the Next Generation: Arbor Day at the Olson Preserve

Join Palouse Land Trust for a drop-in Arbor Day event at the Olson Family Conservation Preserve. Thanks to a generous donation from Deary Acres Nursery, we will be planting 80 trees in celebration of Arbor Day.

This hands-on planting effort supports ongoing restoration work at Olson and helps move us one step closer to improving and expanding wildlife habitat in Latah County. Every tree planted contributes to a healthier, more resilient landscape for years to come.

Volunteers of all experience levels are welcome. Staff will provide guidance, tools, and planting instruction throughout the event. This is a great opportunity to connect with the land, learn about restoration work, and be part of meaningful conservation on the Palouse.

Activities include:

• Planting native trees across restoration sites

• Digging and preparing planting holes

• Watering new plantings

• Learning basic restoration and planting techniques

We provide:

• All tools and materials

• Gloves (limited supply)

• Water and light snacks

• Instruction and support from PLT staff

What to bring and wear:

• Closed-toed shoes or boots

• Clothing suitable for outdoor work and weather conditions

• Layers, as spring conditions can vary

• Willingness to dig, carry, and get a little dirty

We will meet at the Olson Family Conservation Preserve on Olson Loop, where you will be greeted by Palouse Land Trust staff.

No registration required; just drop in and join us for part or all of the event.
