How to Help with Prairie Appreciation Day
Volunteer
Volunteers are particularly needed for the day of the event (May 14th).  Activities include  assisting
at the informational and educational areas, helping direct parking, setting up and tearing down, and
general gofer duties.  If you have the time, we'll find a match for your skills!  We are particularly in
need of people to help out at the informational areas.  We have a core of knowledgeable people
who will be at each station, but they will need reliefs and occasional assistance.  

Additionally, volunteers are always needed on the second Saturday of each month [10:00 to 3:00]
at the prairie restoration work parties sponsored by the Washington Chapter of The Nature
Conservancy.  Please send an email to
Ashley Smithers, South Sound Volunteer Coordinator.

If you wish to volunteer for Prairie Appreciation Day we would like at least a 1/2 day commitment.   
Please email
Dennis Plank or Marion Jarisch.
Financial Support
Direct financial support is always appreciated.  Donation cans will be available at the event.  If you
should wish to send a donation in advance, please send it to the treasurer of Friends of Puget
Prairies, Kathy Whitlock at FOPP, Box 155, Yelm, WA 98597.   Please make checks out to Friends
of Puget Prairies.   FOPP is registered as a non-profit organization with the State of Washington.  
There is a plant sale at the event featuring surplus native prairie plants from The Nature
Conservancy's nursery.
