Help weed out ivy in Edmonds park
Spend Saturday at Picnic Point Park on Saturday and volunteer to rip out ivy and other invasive plants in preparation for planting native species.
Weed-Away Day at the Edmonds park is planned for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 12001 Picnic Point Road.
Sound Stewards will be there to teach about the native plants that need protection from invasive plants.
Picnic Point County Park is one of the few parks in Snohomish County with public beach access west of the railroad. A pedestrian overpass provides park users with a safe and easy access over the railroad so they can get to the 1,200 feet of beach front.
Tools, water and snacks provided. Bring a sack lunch, dress for the weather, and wear sturdy shoes or work boots.
