PLACE: Forest Park, Everett, WA

Streamside Tree Planting Sept 18th

Non-native plant removal and Streamside Tree Planting! When:Friday, September 18th, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm Where: Private property along Whitehorse Creek, near Arlington/Trafton area Join the Stilly-Snohomish Fisheries Enhancement Task Force for United Way’s 2009 Day of Caring project!

The Task Force needs your help to make Whitehorse Creek, in Arlington, a healthier habitat for people, wildlife and fish - especially salmon! We are seeking volunteers to complete the following tasks: 1) Help remove Himalayan Blackberry, an invasive plant; 2) Stage and plant native plants. Volunteers will have the opportunity to learn more about Pacific Northwest riparian ecosystems and the critters that live there. No training is required, and all tools and some snacks and drinks will be provided. Participants will need to dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes, and bring a lunch. Be prepared to get a little dirty, meet others, do a good deed for salmon, and have fun! Planting trees for salmon is important because trees provide shade for cooler water and prevent erosion. Dirt covers up salmon nests and stream bugs that salmon eat. For directions and to sign up, please contact Claire Atkins-Davis at Claire@stillysnofish.org or 425-252-6686!
For more information, please visit our website at www.stillysnofish.org or United Way’s 2009 Day of Caring website at http://www.uwsc.org/3_1_4.php

Community Transit and Oxy Gene on Aug 4th

National Night Out, Aug. 4

The first stop will be the National Night Out Against Crime, from 5-8 p.m. Aug. 4 at McCollum Park in Mill Creek. Now in its 25th year, National Night Out is a partnership between police departments and local communities to increase awareness of anti-crime programs. While learning how you can protect yourself and family, stop by the Community Transit booth to visit with Oxy Gene – defender of truth, justice and really clean air, check out the Double Tall bus, and learn about the Curb the Congestion program and how you can earn $54 toward your commute.

Community Transit staff will also be on hand to talk transit and answer questions at the Snohomish and Lake Stevens National Night Out events. Both the Snohomish event (Averill Park/Snohomish Boys and Girls Club) and the Lake Stevens event (1803 123rd Drive NE) will take place from about 4-8 p.m.

Community Transit Routes 105, 106, 412, 414, 810, 812 and 860 serve the McCollum Park Park & Ride.

To get to the Snohomish event, take Routes 270, 271, 275, 277 or 424.

For the Lake Stevens events, take Routes 221 or 280.

Senators are going on break next week.

When they return on September 8, the Senate will tackle historic legislation that could create new jobs and opportunities in a clean energy economy while imposing strong new standards that limit global warming pollution.

Let's give them something to think about while they're home.

First on their minds should be our degrading environment and families struggling in these tough economic times. The Senate must pass a strong climate and energy bill that shifts us away from a fossil fuel economy and ensures access to quality jobs and job training for communities in need. Along with strong environmental provisions, the bill must include:

1. The Green Construction Careers Demonstration Project
A provision that would create middle class careers in the green economy for low-income Americans by improving access to, and the quality of, jobs in construction - the sector that will see the most job creation as we invest in (literally) building a green economy.

2. Funding for The Green Jobs Act
An existing program that ensures workers suffering the worst effects of the recession and of pollution will get the training and support they need to prepare for family-sustaining careers and that businesses will get the skilled workers they need to compete in the green economy.
Tell Your Senators to Pass a Strong Climate and Energy Bill this Fall.

You have power. When you stood up last month, the House of Representatives responded by passing the American Clean Energy and Security Act with our provisions included. Now it's the Senate's turn.

We've fought hard to get to this point and it would not have happened without you. Getting over the finish line will not be easy. We will need your strength and support in the coming months.

Thank you for standing with us.

Patricia Lovejoy, of Garden Treasures, nurses the baby plants in the greenhouses at her farm in the Stillaguamish River valley. Patricia’s husband, Mark Lovejoy, coordinates the Arlington Farmers Market that opens Saturday, June 20, in the city parking lot next to Legion Park in downtown Arlington by Sarah Arney

ARLINGTON — Patricia and Mark Lovejoy are launching their third year as coordinators of the Arlington Farmers Market, offering fresh organic produce grown in the Stillaguamish Valley, and other items.

“One of the main missions of Garden Treasures is to promote and revitalize the agricultural businesses here in the Stillaguamish River Valley,” said Mark Lovejoy.

The Lovejoys got a bit of a bonus this year when they were approved by the state of Washington to accept WIC and senior farmers market coupons. WIC is a federal grant program for which Congress authorizes a specific amount of funds each year to help provide nutritious foods to women, infants and children. click here to read more

LID IN Snohomish County

What Does Low Impact Development (LID)

Looks Like in Snohomish County?

After three years the Clearwater Commons is delighted to announce that Snohomish County has given final approval to proceed with site development and building construction. The commons is a unique “deep green” project in an environmentally sensitive area. We are the first project of its kind to use comprehensive low impact development methods, intentional community values, innovative green building techniques, and environmental improvements based on the restoration of North Creek, an important endangered salmon habitat.

A low-cost fundraiser to benefit Edmonds Community College's Living Campus Project*

(Suggested Donation: $5 per person)

Don and Mary Hale's Gardens

500 47th Street SE
Everett, WA 98203

These 1 1/2 acre gardens invite both plant lovers and those interested in garden structures. Don and Mary have spent 25 years creating and re-creating garden rooms filled with many, and often unusual, varieties of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous perennials. Visitors will see a 120 ft roadway border of mixed plantings with an immense 50+ year old willow as a backdrop; an "English style" garden featuring clematis, lilies, and roses; a pond garden; terraced gardens; a 1,500 square ft fenced kitchen garden with old brick pathways and courtyard; and more. Of interest also are a greenhouse and garden workshop, designed and built by Don. Stroll the woodland garden pathways and also enjoy the woodland view from a walkway along the castle walls, a large compost heap enclosure.

Aat Bontje and Pearl Wollin's Gardens

515 47th Street SE
Everett, WA 98203

These 1 1/4 acre gardens grace the remodel of a 1910 era farm house and barn, from mostly recycled materials. Aat is now completing the transformation of the barn into a studio, greenhouse, shop, sauna and tool shed. Visitors will enjoy the park-like setting with mixed plantings of perennials and edibles throughout the gardens. Aat created a terraced wall garden, which includes an outdoor kitchen. Pearl has added 14 garden beds, as well as borders for the house, to the original 2 beds when they moved there 20 years ago and a huge array pot plantings. The beds have rewarded her with gifts of morels and a white truffle!
