Earth Sanctuary Volunteer Day - Saturday, May 16, 2009
Monday, April 13th, 2009
Spring has arrived at Earth Sanctuary (www.earthsanctuary.org)! The flowers are blooming. The birds are breeding and the beavers are definitely busy!
The last volunteer day was a wonderful success. Great people and camaraderie.
If you are interested, we will have another volunteer day on Saturday, May 16. Here’s what we need help on:
- Fence Western Red Cedars (beaver protection!)
- Transfer some maple trees into a shaded and fenced area
- Help stack and store unused fencing and poles
- Possible weeding and watering
- Remove drip watering in Sequoia/Western Red Cedar grove by shed
- Cut invasive English Holly and paint stump with Roundup
- Put mulch on some very wet areas of the path
- Other??
We will meet at 9:00 am on Saturday, May 16 by the shed on the East side of Earth Sanctuary. Coming from the Mukilteo-Clinton ferry, turn right at Newman road and go about 3/10’s of a mile. The East entrance (a small driveway) is about 100 yards on the right past Emil Road and the Earth Sanctuary Retreat House.

People who put in 5 hours of volunteer time will get an Annual Pass to Earth Sanctuary, enabling them to visit Earth Sanctuary free for the next year. I will also provide sandwiches and water/soft drinks for lunch. And, for those interested, I will give a tour of Earth Sanctuary in the mid to late afternoon.
