Thanks to the fantastic turnout at our last event, we installed nearly 90 native plants including Tall Oregon Grape, Black Twinberry, Mock Orange, Red-flowering Currant, Salal, Shore Pine, Snowberry, Sword Fern, and Vine Maple.
This time, we’ll be checking on these new plants and spreading mulch to help retain moisture and protect them during upcoming summer temperatures. Time permitting, we’ll also pick up litter and clear invasive species such as blackberry or ivy.
A healthy, wooded beach, rich with native vegetation, will cool stream temperatures, provide habitat for birds and fish, and slow erosion.
Representatives from the Snohomish County Department of Conservation and Natural Resources will be on site, along with Picnic Point Forest Stewards and members of Olympic Fly Fishers of Edmonds.
Please join us as we continue to restore and improve one of our area’s most vital marine habitats!
