Get your hands back in the dirt this Sunday! Join us to help plant native trees and shrubs and remove pesky blackberry! In light of omicron, we’re limiting the group to 10 participants, requiring masks and proof of vaccination. Please sign up today!

Volunteer to improve habitat! Portions of Bothell’s largest park, the former Wayne Golf Course, are a migratory corridor for Chinook salmon in the Sammamish River and potential habitat for Coho at the confluence of Waynita Creek. As this amazing property transforms from a golf course into a public open space, volunteers are offered the opportunity to help improve the habitat. By controlling non-native and invasive weeds, and protecting native trees and vegetation, we’re able to improve water quality for salmon and down the line provide more prey for killer whales in Puget Sound!
Masks and proof of vaccination for those 5 and over will be required. Consider signing up your household for a fun, educational, family outing. Those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, under 18 need a signed release form by a parent. Please sign up, we will limit participants. A confirmation email will be sent to you 2-3 days prior to the event.

Bear Creek is known for having relatively healthy habitat for Chinook salmon within the urban area of King County. Let’s keep it that way by restoring habitat together! This private homesite is situated along the stream. Whale Scout has been working to restore this property since 2018 thanks to the help of volunteers.
Join us to help control invasive weeds and keep our new native plants and trees healthy.
Signing up is required so we can provide parking instructions and keep the group size under 15 people.
Those under 15 are welcome with an adult.
Please park at the PCC on Avondale Road. We will meet and walk to the site about ten minutes away. If you have mobility concerns, please contact us for arrangements.
The dramatic story of endangered Southern Resident killer whales reached a crescendo in 2018 when Tahlequah carried her dead calf for 17 days and over 1,000 miles. The hearts of people around the world were touched by the tragic grief displayed by a mother orca. Today, the whales continue to struggle to reproduce and continue their family lines. Whale Scout restores salmon habitat to help address a critical problem for orcas: lack of food. Improving riparian areas alongside Chinook-bearing rivers and streams, we get whale watchers directly involved in saving the whales we all love to observe in the wild. With just 73 whales remaining in this population, we’re serious about getting work done. Read more about what we are striving to accomplish in 2022 with your support and donate today.
