Join us for a habitat restoration event!

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.

Date: October 18th

Time: 10am – 1pm

Help local artist, Rachael Kutz, paint a mural at Bothell’s largest park! The mural depicts the impact on stewardship on our environment and how a small act can make a cascading impact. The mural will sit beside Whale Scout’s active restoration site and will inspire change as we restore the landscape.

Mural Entitled: “Empowering conservation Through the Rivers of Change” designed by Rachael Kutz

As this is a mural, limited space is available.

*** August 10th might be available for a second day of painting if necessary

Date: August 9th
