SUMMARY:Snohomish County Healthy Forest Day 2022
DESCRIPTION:Kick off the planting season with the Snohomish County Healthy Forest Project and celebrate the second annual Healthy Forest Day! Join us as we work to restore McCollum Park\, a popular community park with a lovely urban forest. We will be planting trees and shrubs\, removing introduced weeds\, and spreading mulch. Coming out to plant and remove weeds with us is one of the best ways to give back to your local forest and your neighbors. Help us to build healthy habitat and build a healthy community! \nHealthy forested parks and greenspaces have the power to strengthen neighborhoods\, provide safe access to nature\, offer numerous valuable environmental benefits\, and play a critical role in supporting salmon habitat and creating a healthy Puget Sound. The work we do at this event will support the restoration of the urban forest around North Creek\, which flows into the Puget Sound\, and improve the health of the water and the people and wildlife who live in the area. \nAll are welcome to attend and no experience is necessary. Space is limited\, so please make sure to sign up in advance to save your spot to plant with us! \nLearn more about the Snohomish County Healthy Forest Project at snocohealthyforest.org
