Sign up for this event

Event Description

Join EarthCorps as we kick-off our most exciting month of the year: EARTH MONTH!

Join EarthCorps and the City of Mercer Island as we assist this dedicated community in helping to restore this one-of-a-kind park on Mercer Island. Ellis Pond is the only year round pond habitat on Mercer Island and many bird and animal species call this pond home. The local neighbors have been stewards of the pond for many years and hope to completely restore this habitat. This spring, the work party will include removing invasive plants and general site maintenance activties.
