Volunteer Planting at Ediz Hook
The Clallam Marine Resources Committee, Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, and Clallam Conservation District are teaming up again this year to improve the nearshore habitat on Ediz Hook. Volunteers are needed to help plant 3,500 bareroot native beach plants.
This planting is part of a large restoration project the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe completed in 2021 that involved removing piers and shoreline armoring such as concrete, riprap and metal, and replacing it with logs and clean beach sand and native coastal plants. The area has been planted before, so this will be the second round of enhancement planting in order to fill in gaps. The ultimate goal of this project is to improve habitat for forage fish and marine birds, as well as create recreation opportunities.
