Earth Day Event Is April 22
Bring your family and join us for an Earthday habitat restoration event on Saturday, April 22. Our club is partnering with the Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Task Force to restore the Skagit Land Trust's Utopia Conservation Area on Wiseman Creek east of Sedro Woolley. This is a family-friendly event open to anyone who can walk down a slightly uneven and possibly muddy trail to the planting site and plant native plants or help remove invasive species. We will work in the morning, then enjoy different activities for all ages to celebrate nature including:
Lunch courtesy of Jersey Mike’s Subs and LaFeen’s doughnuts
Investigation Stations to learn about important parts of the ecosystem
Raffle (Free entry to all participants)
The Earth Day event is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 22nd. Dress to get dirty and get outside this Earth Day!
