Vegetation Will Be Monitored

If 2020 were a normal year, we would have a team of interns and volunteers heading out amongst the conifers and shrubs to monitor the plants at our restoration sites. However, this year is anything but “normal”, so to make up for that, our team of Washington Service Corps members have begun monitoring instead!

Two sites were accomplished during their first week, Riverfront Park in Sedro-Woolley and Skagit Land Trust’s site Utopia. Everyone wears a mask at all times, and social distancing protocols are adhered to.

The plants are checked for species, height, mortality rating, and anything else of note, including insect damage and whether they have protectors. We miss our volunteers but SFEG is still getting important work done!
