Stewardship & Trails

Ongoing Care

Protecting land doesn't end when the paperwork is signed.

Every preserve and easement we hold gets an annual site visit, year after year, to make sure the land is being cared for as intended. Our stewardship team monitors habitat health, addresses invasive species, and maintains the trail network that keeps these places open to the public.

Much of this work happens because volunteers show up — trail crews, weed pulls, fence repair days. It's some of the most direct, hands-on conservation work there is.

Get Involved

Join a trail crew or habitat restoration day

No experience necessary — just a willingness to get outside and get your hands dirty. Trail days run through the spring, summer, and fall across our Wenatchee Foothills preserves.

40th Anniversary

Together, we can protect what makes this valley home.

Since 1984, community support has protected 26,600+ acres of shrub-steppe, riverfront, and working lands — help us reach the next milestone.
