Event Overview
For the past 15 years the Freeman-Leopold family has joined thousands of other volunteers and dozens of organizations in working to restore the Tarboo Creek watershed on Washington's Olympic Peninsula. Through triumphs and setbacks, the effort has passed a family legacy, originated by Susan Leopold Freeman's grandfather Aldo Leopold, to a 4th generation.
