Call for help to remove fence

Published 5:00 am Thursday, August 9, 2012

The Nature Conservancy is seeking volunteers to join a fence-removal work party at Sycan Marsh Preserve, about 75 miles northeast of Klamath Falls, Saturday and Sunday.

Sycan Marsh Preserve, in the headwaters of Southern Oregon’s Klamath Basin, is east of Crater Lake, surrounded by national forests. The 30,500-acre, high-elevation wetland is home to nesting and migrating birds, threatened fish and newly discovered aquatic creatures. Volunteers will help open up spaces for wildlife and restoration work.

Sleeping accommodations and most meals are provided. Volunteers should bring work gloves, long-sleeved shirts, long pants, rubber boots, rain gear, food and water.

Registration is required. Call 503-802-8100 or orvolunteers@tnc.org.
