Join People For Puget Sound at Hamm Creek Estuary!

http://www.pugetsound.org/connect/events/013010hamm/

Hamm Creek used to run through a pipe to the Duwamish River until 1999 when it was “daylighted” and restored to a more natural habitat. Now it is a tidally influenced creek mouth and wetland providing shelter and food for wildlife like ospreys, great blue herons, bald eagles and juvenile fish. We’ll be working together to remove pesky invasive weeds like blackberry and scotch broom that threaten to overtake native plants. Put on your (work) gloves and join the fight!

Glacial Heritage Prairie, Thurston County

February 13, 2010
10:00am – 3:00pm

Please come out and help preserve one of the most endangered eco-systems in the country! The South Puget Sound stunning mounded prairies were created thousands of years ago as the glaciers retreated and were then sustained by the fires of Native American tribes who lived on the land. Today, conservationists like you maintain our prairies through active management and restoration.

The 46th District Democrats present a panel discussion "Global Climate Change: From Science to Action" at its monthly meeting on Thursday, February 18, at 7:30 p.m. at Olympic View Elementary School. Admission is free and the public is cordially invited.

Humans are conducting a kind of "science experiment" on the planet. Every year we release over 30 billion tons of atmospheric CO2 along with many other pollutants, including 400 billion pounds of reactive nitrogen in fertilizer.

The experiment asks: "What happens to a planet when subjected to these conditions?"
