About this event

Saturday, Aug 31. Launch at 10:00 am from Cornet Bay. Please arrive by 9:30 at the latest. Remember to bring your Discover Pass.

Our club volunteered to be stewards for the Washington Water Trails Association (WWTA) Marine Campsite on Skagit Island. Several of us have been there this summer and noticed quite a bit of overgrowth, especially on the trail which circles the island.

The plan is to arrive there between 11:00 am and 12:00 pm and then spend several hours pruning, sawing and clipping on the trail as necessary. Please bring garden clippers and gloves. I will bring along a couple of saws. Please pack a couple of IKEA bags so that we can cut up thistles to take back to our compost containers at home. Be sure to bring lunch and adequate water. If time permits, we can consider paddling a bit more before heading back towards Cornet Bay around 3:00 pm, expecting to arrive there at 5:00 pm.
