Come celebrate Earth Day by planting a native tree or shrub and helping to enhance habitat at in an urban forest next to Westside Park.

The City of Redmond seeks volunteers to help reduce pollution and protect our environment.  We are looking for volunteers to place markers next to neighborhood curbside storm drains.  These markers remind people not to dump materials or allow polluted water to flow into storm drains because “Puget Sound Starts Here”.  Whatever goes down these drains flows directly into our groundwater or into our lake, river and streams.   

This activity promises to be:

• More fun than a barrel of monkeys – though we never thought that a barrel of monkeys sounded all that fun; poor little monkeys all cramped in a barrel.
• So easy that it can be combined with a night on the town, “Honey, I have two tickets to the symphony and enough adhesive glue to place markers at five storm drains.”  
• Is all the rage among the beautiful people – or at least we think they are beautiful because they are helping to care for the environment.
