Plant Trees along Bear Creek
Volunteer to make a difference for orcas in Redmond! Join us at a private property site located along Bear Creek to plant native trees and remove non-native and invasive vegetation. Restoring this riparian zone is fun and helps the salmon that feed whales! Your time and effort benefits water quality and Chinook salmon in this urban stream. Please meet at PCC in Redmond (11435 Avondale Rd NE, Redmond, WA 98052) and we will walk to the property together. This is about a 6 minute walk. Space will be limited so please sign up! Those under 15 must be accompanied by an adult and those under 18 need a signed waiver. Please email us if you have accessibility concerns. Director@whalescout.org
