Upcycle Your Holiday Tree!
🌲 It's that time again! When you take down your holiday tree, consider dropping it off at the Palouse Nature Center (1040 Rodeo Dr., Moscow)! We’ll use the trees to create beaver dam analogs (BDAs) at our local restoration sites. BDAs restore and stabilize degraded steam channels by mimicking dams made naturally by beavers. 🦫 They work to slow down fast-moving water, flood low areas for a greater duration of the year, and filter out sediment.
Please note the new drop off location: Leave your tree anytime next to the wood chip piles at the end of our parking lot. Thanks for helping us help local streams!
Growing Our Community
One New Member at a Time
Programming and projects at PCEI always keep us busy! We’ve been planning meaningful education programs, restoring at-risk stream ecosystems, hosting fun parties and events, and keeping up with maintenance at the PCEI Nature Center and Rose Creek Nature Preserve.
To maintain and grow our programs, we also need to maintain and grow our PCEI community. Memberships help us improve PCEI’s natural spaces, provide more stellar events, and deliver more educational programs. Plus, a strong membership base gives us more credibility and strength when applying for grants. Please consider joining the PCEI community.
