The public is invited to a free marsh walk on Saturday at 3 p.m., led by Keeley O’Connell, senior project manager at EarthCorps.

According to O’Connell, participants will explore Edmonds’ 32-acre fresh-and-saltwater marsh that was once a 100 acre barrier estuary. This “rare habitat” on Puget Sound is home to wildlife, and there is proposed restoration to “improve the health and function of the marsh both for wildlife and the Edmonds community.”

Interested walkers should meet at the Edmonds marsh boardwalk overlook at Harbor Square SW corner near Blue Collar Doghouse. The event is sponsored by My Edmonds News, TrEdmonds, and Celebrate Edmonds, as part of FeetFirst and Jane’s Walks, an international weekend celebrating walkable communities.
