The Edmonds Marsh Restoration Volunteers were back at the reopened Shellabarger Creek along Highway 104 Saturday controlling invasive vegetation using wood chips. The volunteers are working under a new four-year Adopt-A-Highway Landscaping Agreement between the Washington State Department of Transportation and the Edmonds Stream Team. The agreement supports continued community volunteer efforts to control invasive vegetation in the Edmonds Marsh and Shellabarger Creek and to plant trees and shrubs to preserve the new stream habitat.

  1. Thank goodness. Our wonderful volunteers have worked so hard already. We are fortunate to have so many citizens who care so much and want to get back to work.

  2. Good on you volunteers! It was the marsh and the creek that invited humans to camp and gather here in the first place. It remains the ancient heart of Edmonds. Thanks again for carrying out a civic effort that only volunteers seem to be willing and able to do.
