Subject: Volunteer opportunities at Gold Creek Pond-native plants not weeds!

 

Sasha and Sarah,

Gold Creek Pond is an area where the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie and Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forests have been doing a lot of integrated weed management.  Although that work is still ongoing-we are now moving into more native planting at the site.  There are two more upcoming volunteer opportunities to help plant natives as part of the on-going work.  Last year a few weed watchers showed up to help me with some mulching, so I wanted to share this opportunity for other non-weed pulling work.  One of our project partners, Conservation Northwest, is heading up all the volunteer work and a link to their calendar of events as well as the contact information is included below.  Could you please share this with the weed watchers.

WHAT:  Volunteers spend the day collecting seeds and planting native plants, working with the Forest Service to restore habitat adjacent     to Gold Creek near Snoqualmie Pass in the Interstate 90 corridor, as part of the WA Dept. of Transportation's construction of underpasses to connect habitat for wildlife to successful cross I-90.

 

WHEN:  September 29th and October 13th
