Earlier this year, we installed nearly 90 native plants along the shoreline at Picnic Point Beach. Now it’s time to prepare them for the winter. For this event, we’re planning to clear any grass and weeds that are crowding the young plants and re-mulch to help retain moisture and protect them during the winter months. 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.
We’ll be joined by our friends from the Snohomish County Healthy Forest Project and Picnic Point Forest Stewards.
Please help us continue to restore and improve one of our area’s most vital marine habitats!

Preliminary forecast looks good. But remember to bring rain gear if rain is in the forecast. Also bring water and a snack.
Hand tools and gloves will be provided, but you’re welcome to bring your own if you wish. Please do not bring power tools or herbicides.
