Where can you help restore a local creek
and improve fish habitat and then celebrate with games, hot chocolate and decorating
a free T-shirt? You can do this all and more at Earth Day in Marysville. The
event takes place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 21, at Strawberry
Fields Park, 6100 152nd St. N.E., Marysville.
Volunteers are needed to help plant
trees to restore the middle fork of Quilceda Creek. Staff will be on hand from
Adopt A Stream Foundation and the City of Marysville to show you the ropes.
While you’re at it, you’ll learn about native plants. You can also see baby
Coho on the fish camera.
Activities are for all ages, rain or
shine. Wear sturdy boots and work clothes. Gloves, tools and light refreshments
will be provided. Questions? Contact Jessie Balbiani, Surface Water Specialist,
at 360-363-8144 or jbalbiani@marysvillewa.gov.
This event is presented by Adopt A
Stream Foundation and the City of Marysville in partnership with the City of
