Mule Deer Foundation & WDFW – Volunteer Event

MDF local chapters have contributed funding to assist the WDFW in the purchase of native shrub (sage and bitterbrush) plugs and we invite you to get your boots on and hands dirty to help us get them in the ground!  These efforts will help to restore the Shrub Steppe ecosystem and mule deer winter range on LT Murray WMA in the Whiskey Dick WLA after the 2022 Vantage Fire that burned over 30,000 acres of critical habitat.
