In partnership with the City of Bothell and with help from a Department of Ecology grant, we at Snohomish CD presented about beavers today and took questions. We showed the tie from beavers to helping with water quality and supporting fish and other wildlife. Beavers are the ultimate ecosystem engineers!

In partnership with the City of Everett and WSU Snohomish County Extension, we at Snohomish CD presented about rain gardens today and took questions. We showed the tie from rain gardens to helping with water quality and reducing runoff to our local waterways.

Promotion, emails, delivering rain barrels, giving out flyers, and loading rain barrels to help orcas in Edmonds. :-)

I will tend to a garden each day, or work on starting one to keep my food local, minimize my climate carbon footprint and therefore reduce my impact to the Puget Sound and/or Pacific Ocean.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips thus avoid sending exhaust particles and tire pollution into stormwater that impacts Orca and salmon health.
