Blackberry Removal @ Ladies of the Lake
April 12 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join us at the Ladies of the Lake property which spans an incredible 100 acres on the south side of Lake Whatcom! We’ll be working along Fir Creek which is critical habitat for Kokanee salmon and other native wildlife. In recent years, we have planted hundreds of trees, and now it is time to care for these young saplings by removing invasive Himalayan blackberry. This work will give native trees the space they need to grow into a healthy, thriving forest. Come spend a beautiful April morning restoring native wildlife habitat.
What to expect: Walking a short distance on uneven ground, digging using a shovel, pulling roots, clipping plants.
