Potting at the Wetland Plant Nursery

King Conservation District's wetland plant nursery was a joy for the children to discover.  The flooded beds of native species were as fascinating as the potting was fun.  And a beautiful day to boot!

The First Homeschool Stewardship Squad! WA Trails Asscn. at Evans Creek Preserve, Issaquah

A terrific inaugural event!  We began with the WA Trails Association, led by Krista Dooley.  The children hiked through the mud to transplant sturdy native sword ferns, Polystichum munitum from the forest to the edge of the new trail.  They learned about the proper crown placement when planting, digging appropriate root balls and erosion-control techniques.  It will be exciting to return to this new park when it officially opens to visit our work!
