Short Description of Activity
As part of our Regional Broadwalk held at Deception Pass State Park, we organized a stewardship activity with the Whidbey Camano Land Trust at Dugualla Heights conservation easement. The Dugualla Heights conservation easement was finalized in December of 2009. In an agreement between the Whidbey-Camano Land Trust and the Dugualla Community. 29 acres including the 4 acre open water lagoon are protected from development. This is an ongoing project that has included removal of invasive weeds and added native plants to improve wildlife habitat. For this stewardship activity, our Broads removed invasive weeds and plants.
Reflection/Evaluation
This activity was a success. Eight Broads worked for more than two hours to remove invasive plants and weeds. Many invasive plants and weeds were removed during that time.
