Upcoming Events

The Chelan-Douglas Land Trust and Columbia Valley Community Health invite you to hike for your health!

Join us for the 2019 Hike for Health Series. Improve your health, be part of a team, take home prizes and be entered to win one of many grand prizes at the end of the hiking season. 

How to participate in the Hike for Health Series:

Join the Land Trust at Saddle Rock Trailhead for weekly kid-focused hikes. Explore our trails with fun, hands-on activities to get up close and personal with nature. Learn how to help your child love healthy, active, and safe play in the outdoors. 

Join us at Castle Rock to perform annual fall maintenance on the Castle Rock trail system, and any existing trail infrastructure (trail closure barriers, fences, rock steps). This work will be light to moderate and involve hiking up to 3 miles and using hand tools such as hoes and McLeods along the way.

Would you like to spend a weekday morning hiking, viewing wildlife, wildflowers, and snow-capped mountains, while being part of a small team collecting bird species data?  Community Science Projects are collaborations between scientists and volunteers that expand opportunities for scientific data collection and help answer real-world questions.

Enjoy wildflower season and great views at the Horse Lake Reserve while helping to remove hazardous fencing. Work involves cutting brush that has grown through the fences, removing and rolling rusty barbed wire, and pulling out fence posts. Wear sturdy shoes, tough clothing, and leather gloves. Bring a water bottle, fence pliers, loppers, and a small pruning saw if you have them.
