People for Puget Sound Works Parties on Orcas

People for Puget Sound will be partnering with local landowners Bob and Meg Connor to conduct three work parties in March 2011 at the Cayou Valley Lagoon in Deer Harbor. The workshops are scheduled for:

Wednesday, March 16: 10 am - 2 pm
Saturday, March 19: 10 am - 2 pm
Sunday, March 27: 1 pm - ­4 pm

Volunteers are needed to install native plants, remove invasive weeds, and clean up litter at the largest estuary on Orcas Island. Come and be a part of this local habitat restoration project! Work is underway to remove fish passage barriers and restore the shoreline of the Cayou Valley Lagoon. This site is private property, so take advantage of the opportunity to see this beautiful estuary and help bring it back to health. To sign up or ask questions, contact Rachel Benbrook at rbenbrook@pugetsound.org or phone: 360-230-1353.
