On July 12th and August 9th Citizens for a Healthy Bay will be leading an invasive species removal at Yowkwala Beach restoration site from 9:30 to 3:30. Many non-native plants such as Pepperweed, Himalayan blackberry and Scotch broom are inhibiting native species from becoming established at this site. We will be tackling these and more to ready the site for planting in the fall. CHB will provice lunch for those volunteers who work the full day. Sturdy boots/shoes are recommended as well as clothing that you don't mind getting dirty. Yowkwala is located next to Tyee Marina on Marine View Dr. just before heading up the hill to Brown's Point. Turn into the marina, buzz the gate and let them know you are working with CHB. Go to the very end of the parking area and look for the CHB sign. Please RSVP if you plan to attend by contacting Jeanine Riss at jriss@healthybay.org or 253-383-2429.
