Cowlitz Wildlife Area -- Boundary Fence Maintenance
Wildlife Program
Want a chance to help with access on public land with a valued partner? WDFW is leading a two-day fence maintenance project at Cowlitz Wildlife Area and we would love to see BHA members making an impact. Sign up for either one day or both and join BHA leaders and other volunteers. Once you are signed up through WDFW, you will receive further instructions from them about what is needed and directions.
This project will focus on repairing and improving existing fence lines to clearly mark the property boundary and help manage access. Volunteers will assist with stretching and re-hanging usable sections of old wire, installing new wire where needed, and setting T-posts to support the fence. The goal of this work is to better define the boundary line and prevent unauthorized vehicle access, directing traffic only to designated areas and parking lots. No prior fencing experience is required—just a willingness to work outdoors and help protect the site.
Dry camping will be an option for those that would like to participate for multiple days.
You will first need to register as a WDFW volunteer. The portal can be found at this link:
This project is eligible for Master Hunter hours.
