The Center for Natural Lands Management conserves prairies, oak woodlands and freshwaters in the South Sound. It coordinates the South Sound Prairie Landscape Working Group and manages this website. Learn more about our South Sound program here.
It's early summer out on the prairie and high time for seed collecting, broom pulling, and enjoying the sunshine. Join in on the fun every Tuesday, Friday and second Saturday at our volunteer days.
Email ssvolunteers@cnlm.org to join us.
The CNLM Knotweed Abatement and Riparian Restoration Program has been working with landowners in the Chehalis Basin to control knotweed on their property since 2004. All of our services are provided at NO COST to landowners and require only an agreement that allows us access to private property. For further information, please contact Dave Geroux by email at dgeroux@cnlm.org or by phone at (360) 280 8304.
Mazama pocket gophers are an important component in South Sound prairies. While still found in Thurston and Pierce Counties, they are globally rare and considered threatened with extinction by the State of Washington.
