Thanks to great planning, perfect spring weather and a superb site on Ten Mile Creek, the planting event on April 20th was a great success! We had almost 200 volunteers out to plant more than 500 trees & shrubs.
With willing landowner support, our co-sponsors Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association (NSEA) and Whatcom Conservation District (WCD) had everything ready to go to plant out the north/east banks of the creek at this site just east of Reither Elementary School, where NSEA had planted the west bank years ago, now nicely maturing and shading the creek.
As a co-sponsor, we had our TCWP information display set up for the day, and greeted each arriving group of volunteers with a brief introduction about our organization and what we do. The display enabled further conversations throughout the morning.
It was a great day!
