Volunteer with PCRS

We invite all who are interested to volunteer to help us. You may contact us for more information, or schedule a time for one of us to come and provide your group with a free slide presentation on our restoration project and opportunities to participate in hands-on restoration. This presentation will inform your group about the area’s native plants and how these plants are important to the stream. You will also be invited to come out to the Creek and engage in hands-on restoration, which will include eradicating invasive plants and planting native vegetation that birds, wildlife, and fish need to survive. So join with us at Puget Creek Restoration Society and help to restore one of Tacoma's natural jewels, Puget Creek/Puget Gulch.

All events and activities listed on the Calendar are open to full participation by all individuals.

Of possible interest to elementary, middle, and high school teachers is that we have some funding for transporting students by bus to Puget Creek to help in restoration projects.  So if you would you’re your class to participate but don’t have funding for bus transportation, contact us.

Second Saturday Events

Join us on one of our Second Saturday monthly events that start at 9:00 AM and end at 12:00 noon. Or schedule another time to participate in restoration work or other endeavor associated with the Puget Creek Restoration Society by contacting Scott Hansen at pugetcreek@yahoo.com or (253) 779-8890.

HELP

Also from time to time you will see "HELP" on an event.  This means we could use a crew leader or other help for that event.  For you folks who are resume-building, or those who just like leading people, this could be an opportunity to gain experience in supervising a crew of 5-10 people during an event. It’s a great way to get to know people as well.

Committee Members Needed

We have three committees that are open for the public to join and help in the direction of PCRS activities (Nearshore/Terrestrial; Education/Membership; and Fundraising/Grant Writing). 

Board of Directors Positions

Currently, we have positions on our Board of Directors, so come out and help direct, guide, and make decisions in your favorite organization.

Office Help

We also have opportunities to help out in the office with many chores: filing, data entry, brochure-folding, sign-painting, button-making, and other duties. If you can help, email Scott Hansen at pugetcreek@yahoo.com.

Internships

We are offering internships (non-paid) to high school and college students in the fields of stream/habitat studies, volunteer coordination, GIS (with prior knowledge of GIS), office management and other fields of potential interest to students.

We have research opportunities for those interested in areas that we are involved in.

Membership 

We are in a membership drive at this time. A membership is only $15.00 for an individual and $25.00 for a family, for one year.  Members receive our newsletter; "From the Park to the Sound:  A Guidebook to Puget Creek,” and other amenities along with knowing you are helping a nonprofit organization to restore an important urban habitat. 

All contributions (whether money or goods) to PCRS are tax-deductible, as we are a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization.
