Orca Action Month Habitat Restoration Event!

Sign up here!

Whale Scout is partnering with Orca Salmon Alliance and Orca Network for Orca Action Month for the month of June! 

Orca Awareness Month, started by long-time orca education and advocacy group Orca Network, was created to bring together researchers, advocates, and orca lovers everywhere to raise awareness of the threats facing these magnificent animals and provide a community to celebrate orcas of the Salish Sea. It has since evolved into “Orca Action Month,” as awareness has gained traction and rallying of community action is necessary to recover Southern Resident orcas. For 18 years, June has been proclaimed Orca Month by the Governor of Washington, and for the first time in 2016, Orca Month was celebrated in Oregon and British Columbia.

Earth Day w/ Whale Scout & COB

Sign up here!

Whale Scout is partnering with the City of Bothell for an Earth Day event on the 26th of April!

Celebrate Earth Day with a variety of fun activities for participants of all ages! You can also help restore healthy habitat by removing invasive plants at the Former Wayne Golf Course. Healthy riparian forests are essential for absorbing excess rain and controlling erosion of river banks, which helps protect young salmon. Activities will take place in the front nine of the park.

May 10th Spring Volunteer Event

As we enter spring, we are working to maintain the trees and shrubs we just planted along with getting future planting sites ready for future planting!

Sign up here!

Join us to restore habitat along the Sammamish River!

Endangered Southern Resident killer whales depend on salmon as a critical prey resource from watersheds in Puget Sound and beyond. Salmon use the Sammamish River as a migratory corridor. Improving the water quality in the river will help both struggling salmon populations and orcas. Join us to care for new native plantings at the former Wayne Golf Course. Vegetation will help shade and cool and clean a small stream emptying into the Sammamish River. Healthy riparian forests control erosion of riverbanks and host insects’ young salmon need early in life. The former Wayne Golf Course features nearly a mile of shoreline and is the largest City of Bothell Park. Activities will take place on the west side or “front nine.” 

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. Meet at the clubhouse parking area (16721 96th Ave NE, Bothell, WA 98011). Please sign up. A confirmation email will be sent to you 2-3 days prior to the event.
