Walk before Hawks

If you keep a good pace, you can be home before the Seattle Seahawks game at 1:30 p.m. Saturday.

Friends of Camano Island Parks offer a community walk on the Cama Beach trails Saturday morning.

Meet at 9:50 a.m. at Ivy Road and Dry Lake Road junction. Parking is on the Ivy Road cul-de-sac. The 3.5-mile walk is to the Cranberry Lake trail, then to the beach area.

Organizers ask that dogs be kept at home, but do bring rain hats, waterproof gloves and flasks of cocoa.

Order plants: Snohomish Conservation District offers its annual conservation plant sale March 4 and 5 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe.

Purchase plants for wildlife habitat, reforestation, native plant gardens, wind and sight screens, and erosion control. Save money by planting your own Christmas trees; select from Noble, Douglas and Grand firs.

The district will take preorders through Feb. 3.

Full-color brochures and an order form are available on-line at www.snohomishcd.org or by requesting one at treesale@snohomishcd.org.
