Tackling invasives does more than beautify the landscape: it helps provide food for even our tiniest neighbors!
Anna’s hummingbirds depend on our forests’ blooms all year round, and lending a helping hand for native species ensures the native plants they need aren’t outcompeted by the w**ds. The Vashon Bird Alliance is dedicated to our Island’s birds and ensuring their habitat is as healthy as possible.
VBA volunteers partner with the Land Trust every week to help maintain and restore habitat in Paradise Valley. They remove invasive plants, prepare new areas for planting, and plant native trees and shrubs that capture and store carbon and provide food and shelter for the whole array of local wildlife. And they have a great time doing it together! Come join the fun!
