Help celebrate Earth Day 2021 by helping to free the trees from invasive English ivy! In partnership with Samish Island Camp and the Samish Indian Nation, we’ll remove invasive ivy from the ground and trees along Scott’s Point on Samish Island. English ivy climbs the native trees and eventually causes them to die, removing important coastal erosion buffers. By removing the ivy we’ll give these trees a new lease on life!
Bring your own gloves if you have them. If not, we will gift you some! All ages welcome, masks required. Dress for the weather!
Due to ongoing Covid-19 health and safety concerns, RSVP for this and all volunteer events is required, in order to maintain small group numbers. Each “Shift” will be limited to 25 people; volunteers will be in separate groups of 5 volunteers each.
Register for Shift 1: 9:00-11:30am
Register for Shift 2: 12:30-3:00pm

INaturalist Project
We will be launching our INaturalist project at our Earth Day event! iNaturalist is a social network of naturalists, citizen scientists, and biologists built on the concept of mapping and sharing observations of biodiversity across the globe. We created a project folder for Earth Day volunteers to collect observations on plants and animals observed at Samish Island Camp! Instructions below:
