Our members organize together on Wood Rats excursions across the Puget Sound area to harvest wood from recently felled trees due to wind storms or disease. Members participate by bringing their safety equipment, chainsaws, hand trucks, muscles, and a helpful attitude.

Testimonials

“I was surprised at how neat and clean you folks left the site.
The next thing I saw was the 3 inch tree round left behind and immediately recognized it as a old Native American tradition of thanking Mother Earth for the gift she provided. One very seldom sees that respect today. Thank you!”

From a Seattle community Wood Rats tree donor
