Snohomish Conservation District’s mission is to work cooperatively with others to promote and encourage conservation and responsible use of natural resources. We represent Snohomish County and Camano Island.
On Saturday, April 26, twelve committed seniors from Monroe High School gathered at the restoration site adjacent to Rotary Field in Sky River Park, eager to make a difference. For three hours on a beautiful spring day, these students rolled up their sleeves to plant Nootka rose and red-flowering currant, manage invasive species, and distribute wildflower seeds across the site.
Shade, beauty, fresh air, and clean water are just a few of the benefits trees provide to urban neighborhoods. We can thank trees for filtering pollutants from vehicle emissions in high-traffic areas, slowing stormwater runoff, and mitigating urban heat islands.
Waterproof waders. Neoprene boots. White and yellow hard hats. Sturdy gloves. These are some of the items you might see our Washington Conservation Corps members wearing as they support the District’s restoration programs.
We celebrated our 40th Annual Plant Sale in early March with over 40,000 plants sold! We welcomed over 1,200 visitors who came to pick up their pre-ordered plants and shop at our walk-up sale.
