Join us in celebrating Make A Difference Day by planting trees to enhance habitat for salmon and all the species that benefit from healthy salmon runs! RSVP HERE

WHEN: October 26th, 2024, 9am-noon

WHERE: Little Carey’s Wetland – The site doesn’t really have a proper address, so to find it, just enter 48°31’48.3″N 121°59’15.7″W into your navigation app/Google and it will direct you to a site off Walders Rd. Parking will be off Walders as well, and it will be a little bit of a walk from the parking site to the planting site. Follow posted signage for directions to our tent site!

We will provide gloves, tools, and light snacks. Dress for the weather, we recommend lots of layers and some boots you don’t mind getting dirty!

 

Join us Saturday February 28th, 9am-noon for our first regular planting party of the season at the Skagit River in South Mount Vernon.

This site, outside the dike at the Mount Vernon wastewater treatment plant, has been undergoing transformation from field to wooded riverbank, and the process is ongoing.  Help us restore this riparian forest!

We provide tools, gloves, hot drinks and snacks!
