Once covering much of the northeast Olympic Peninsula, the Port Townsend camas prairie is a remnant of a critically important ecosystem that sustained many of the Tribes of the Pacific Northwest. Join us as we tour the prairie to learn about what happened to the prairies of the Olympic Peninsula, followed by a walk down to what is left of the qatáy lagoon.
