Camas Lions give back to community

The Camas Lions Club has had a busy few months giving back to the community. In February, the Lions from around Clark County gathered at the Staudinger collection site to sort through donated eyeglasses, prior to sending the glasses to the Northwest Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center to help those living in lower- and middle-income countries have access to basic eye care services. 

On Feb. 18, for the second year, Camas Lions members answered the call for all nature enthusiasts and community heroes to roll up their sleeves and plant native trees, helping to restore a valuable green space in the heart of Camas. The Camas Lions Club, in partnership with the Watershed Alliance of Southwest Washington, joined 142 other community volunteers Feb. 18, for a day of environmental action at Camas’ old WaferTech, now TSMC, campus. In under three hours, this band of enthusiastic, earth-loving volunteers planted 1,390 native trees and shrubs, transforming a portion of the TSMC property into a future native woodland that will benefit both the environment and the local community.
