Squad potted up Pacific ninebark / Physocarpus capitatus for growing on in King Conservation District’s wetland plant cooperative nursery. The plant cooperative is a resource for home and landowners who can trade volunteer time in the nursery for native plants to take home. Additionally, KCD has a wonderful annual bare root native plant sale and community festival, it is coming up on Saturday March 14 at the Tukwila Community Center both indoors and out plus food trucks!
We all enjoyed working alongside the Department of Ecology’s Washington Conservation Corps members. The WCC program hires young people to perform a variety of stewardship tasks around the state, at the end of their term they receive an education grant to spend on tuition or trainings.
