We would like to invite you all formally to our Earth Day event on April 23rd, located at Riverfront Park in Sedro-Woolley. This event is hosted by Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group with the City of Sedro-Woolley Public Works Department, and will last from 10am-1pm, with everyone adding mulch to plants and trails, and removing any nonnative invasive vegetation that we find. Thousands of plants have been planted at this site and in-stream habitat work will commence this summer. Earth Day efforts are one step in the process of restoring this site for people and wildlife, so it would be an honor to have each and every one of you a part of this yearly event.
We also plan to host a food drive with Helping Hands Food Bank of Skagit County, so we encourage you all to donate shelf stable foods. A booth with more information about Skagit Fisheries and salmon populations will be included. To thank our volunteers, we plan to have a raffle with special prizes as well as tote bags for everyone with commissioned artwork from PNW artist Gray McKenna.
Thank you to Haggen, Starbucks, LaFeen’s Donuts, and Jimmy John’s for providing food, drinks, and prizes for volunteers at this event!
