11/2/2024 habitat restoration event at ƛ̕ax̌ʷadis (TI’ awh-ah-dees) Park in Kenmore!
November 2 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
Join Mid Sound Fisheries Enhancement Group, in partnership with the City of Kenmore, Confluence Environmental Company, and Sno-King Watershed Council, for habitat restoration at ƛ̕ax̌ʷadis Park on Saturday, August 17, 2024 from 11 AM to 2 PM.
Join Mid Sound and partners on a very special field trip to the recently restored part of ƛ̕ax̌ʷadis Park. This is the SECOND special once-a-quarter opportunity to experience part of the park that is normally off-limits to human visitors. We’ll get down off the boardwalk onto the peninsula to clear invasive plants away from native plants, and install some additional native plants while we’re at it!
The event will begin with a brief discussion that includes information about the site, the partnering organizations, why this work is important, tool use, and safety. We will provide work gloves, all instructions, and all tools. Please plan to arrive on time for the start of the event and allow extra time to find parking.
Everyone is welcome, but anyone 16 or 17 years old attending without an adult needs to fill out and bring the attached Youth Waiver to the event. Anyone under the age of 16 needs to be accompanied by an adult. Thank you!
