People for Puget Sound will offer a one-day workshop from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday in Olympia and Feb. 20 in Tacoma for volunteers interested in restoring South Sound estuaries and shorelines. The Sound Stewards class includes such topics as local shoreline history, introduction to ecology, native versus invasive plant identification, weed control and planting techniques.

In return for the free training, volunteers are asked to help in the next year with People for Puget Sound restoration projects. The Olympia training will be held at the offices of People For Puget Sound, 120 E. Union Ave Suite 222, Olympia.

To register, contact Christina Donehower at cdonehower@pugetsound.org.
