Earth Day
Earth Day is Saturday, April 22. Celebrate with events around the community throughout the month! We'll update this page as event details come in.
Volunteer Event at Former Wayne Golf Course
Hosted by Whale Scout in partnership with King County Noxious Weed Program, City of Bothell, and Bothell Parks & Recreation.
When
Saturday, April 22, 2023
Time
10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Meeting location
Blyth Park large picnic shelter: 16950 W Riverside Drive, Bothell, WA 98011 (Directions)
Parking
Park at Blyth Park and meet under the large picnic shelter to sign in. We will walk over to the work site at the Former Wayne Golf Course together from there.
What we'll do
Celebrate Earth Day by helping remove invasive plants along the edge of the forest 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. Planting will take place in the Back Nine of the park.
