Oh, Donovan – so much beauty, and so much to do! Those who have visited Lower Donovan Creek cannot forget the expansive views, recovering stream, and bright young plant community. And with the habitat recovery, our friendly habitat engineers the beaver have moved back in! While those buggers are hard at work building their dams and new creek channels that support salmon habitat, we also need to do our part by adding shade to the creek. Towards that end, we’ll be building beaver-exclusion fencing and other deterrents around select taller trees within the young forest. This work will involve lots of walking and kneeling to get to the base of the tallest trees over uneven, but beautiful terrain.
Directions: From Center Road, turn onto East Quilcene Road. Take the first left onto McInnis Road then proceed approximately 0.3 miles and park on the road shoulder near the top of the first driveway on the right. Contact Carrie to carpool from Port Townsend.
