“Protecting Watershed Resiliency, Biodiversity and Climate: Preventing the Spread of Invasives on the Olympic Coast.”

Drawing on two decades of experience in coastal watershed resiliency and restoration on the Olympic Peninsula, Jill Silver, Executive Director with 10,000 Years Institute, will share the Institute’s foundational principle of protecting regenerative native plant communities from degradation by non-native invasives. Learn how these efforts support salmon recovery, forest protection, and climate resilience—while creating local stewardship jobs. Species information, field methods, and practical protocols will be shared.

Childhood summers spent at Rialto Beach and the Hoh and Quillayute rivers formed Jill’s passion for this place where she is the grateful steward of 30 acres of family forest on ancestral lands of the Quileute Tribe.
