More than 40 people visited Lopez BLM properties on Sat. Sep 24, and took part in service and educational projects to celebrate National Public Lands Day. The event, wonderfully organized by BLM staff member Sara Waugh, with the help of the Lopez Island Land Bank and Conservation Corps, included three educational stations at Watmough Bight – hands-on tidepool exploration, a talk about eelgrass, and an interpretive walk through the Watmough wetlands. In addition to cutting back blackberry bushes and improving trails, volunteers also removed a large quantity of invasive holly plants from Chadwick Hill and hauled ten bags of trash up from the beach at Pt. Colville. A lot was accomplished in a short time, and visitors were enthusiastic about the activities. A very successful event for the Lopez Community.
