Thanks to Cassie Knavel from WA Department of Agriculture for presenting on invasive pests like the Northern Giant Hornet (Murder Hornet), Yellow-Legged Hornet and Spotted Lantern Fly at tonight's Conservation and Cocktails event at the Purdy B**r Vault! These are seriously scary for WA agriculture and honey bees.

Do you care about urban tree canopy? Pierce County has a goal of achieving 40% tree canopy in urban unincorporated areas. You can see how the County is doing and you can also see how our Cities are doing, including the City of Gig Harbor (45.2% in 2024).

We could not be anymore excited about this! The first trail through the 50+ acre txʷaalqəł Conservation Area in downtown Gig Harbor that happened thanks to the leadership of City Council, Mayor and staff and significant contributions from Pierce County, the Puyallup Tribe and YOU thorough donations to the Great Peninsula Conservancy via our local Gig Harbor Land Conservation Fund !!!

This loop trail is lovely! You will not believe that you are in the middle of Gig Harbor... It is so quiet. It is a bit steep in parts, so be ready for a good workout!

Thank you City of Gig Harbor !!!
