Mithun Volunteer Day at Clarke Beach
08.10.2009 Noteworthy
Last Thursday, August 6th, a few Mithunees joined EarthCorps' efforts to help restore Clarke Beach on Mercer Island. A total of 92 volunteers (15 adults and 77 youth) removed 17,993 sq ft. of invasive species: including blackberry, ivy, holly, and cherry laurel. The groups included Mithun, individuals and three youth organizations--YMCA, Voices, and Footprints. This effort prepared the area for planting of native trees and understory (shrubs and ground cover) in the fall to build a healthy forest that is more resistant to invasives in the future, and to create an overall a healthier habitat. There's another volunteer opportunity coming up on Saturday, August 22nd if you want to join in!
