There are two opportunities to work outdoors the next two Saturdays.
Volunteers are needed to plant native trees from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Union Slough restoration site south of Marysville and Nov. 22 on Jetty Island in Everett.
People for Puget Sound, Everett Parks and Recreation, the Port of Everett and Snohomish County Stewards bring the tools and trees.
