“Working Today For Tomorrow’s Wildlife” Since 1919Future events
Every year, the club looks forward to new volunteer opportunities with WDFW, including restoring native vegetation after wildfires and trash removal. We started the Durr Road Cleanup in 1999 to help keep our outdoor activities available and free of interference. When we started, we collected almost 3 tons of trash annually, but the amount collected has decreased with our educational outreach.
