Tall Cottonwood / Populus trichocarpa trees prematurely dropped fruiting-clusters on the nursery, perhaps during high winds, they will split open to release the fluffy 'cotton' tufted seeds inside, soon to rain down like snow in summer.
King Conservation District's Wetland Plant Nursery itself received some weeding this time around. The landscape fabric accumulates debris in the overlapping areas and weed seeds need only the slightest soil environment to germinate in.
Unfortunately the soggy long spring didn't help us view tadpoles in the flooded beds, the steady raindrops and cool weather didn't facilitate good viewing this time around. Before we know it it will be summertime and we can enjoy Squad events with swim spots afterwards!
