Earth Sanctuary Volunteer Day - Saturday, May 16, 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.
