The scientific creation of a baseline of our tree inventory is a step toward developing reasonable requirements for tree replacement and preservation.  It's a tool needed for preservation of our tree canopy.  This will help our streams, wetlands and habitats.  The survey is headed by a retired professional forest expert.    If you can volunteer at least 3 hours in October to help in this effort, please choose a specific time slot (or slots) at www.doodle.com/kccditsmnqzcig9x and let Mike know your contact information. If you received a request to have a small plot on your property inventoried but have not yet responded, please contact Mike.  You can contact Mike either by email, pnrc@comcast.net or phone, 206-659-4288.

Mark your calendars for our FALL FUNDRAISER "Celebrating Our Watershed" Friday, November 12th at the LFP Civic ClubMore information to come!
