Yes, I want want to support My Edmonds News!Do you live on Shell, Shellabarger or Willow Creek in Edmonds? Then you are one of a few lucky Edmonds residents who can enjoy a creek in their yard. Living on a stream cannot only bring joy, but it can also raise some questions like:
– What is the right thing to do with the creek in my yard?
– Do I have to worry about erosion?
– What type of yard care is best for my kids and pets?
To help you find answers to these and similar questions, People for Puget Sound is sponsoring a free streamside property owner workshop from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday, May 12. This workshop is specifically designed for streamside property owners but also welcomes Edmonds residents who don’t live on a stream but are interested in natural yard care, the Edmonds Marsh and having a beautiful garden.
Free refreshments and lunch are provided. Topics include watershed characteristics; storm water/water pollution; streamside living do’s and don’ts; natural yard care; tree assessment, pruning and removal methods and the application process for restoration work on property.
To register for this workshop or learn more, contact Franziska McKay at fmckay@pugetsound.org or call 206-456-3802.
