Youth leaders support watershed restoration and protection through monthly Dabob Days volunteer projects. Youth participate in training and lead other community members during projects. NWI hosts projects from the headwaters of Tarboo Creek in a Quilcene to Tarboo-Dabob Bay focusing on a whole watershed approach. Projects vary by season and have previously included planting trees, installing protective cages, potting plants in the nursery, and harvesting live plant stakes as well as removing tree protectors, marine debris and invasive species.
