Experience the majesty of your local forest lands in this slow hike and art-making adventure!
Join Nichole Kean of Rainflower Designs to learn about practical strategies for designing a deer-resistant garden using wildlife-friendly native plants!
This month’s hike is all about beavers! Join us to learn all about these semi-aquatic animals and the homes that they build. Beavers are amazing creatures that use their building skills - and big teeth! - to change forest and wetland landscapes. We’ll explore beaver habitats and even get a chance to build our own dams.
This September, environmental consultant Anchor QEA will return to the former A Avenue Landfill to continue work on the site’s remedial investigation. The City has retained Anchor QEA to support the assessment of environmental conditions at the former landfill in coordination with the Washington State Department of Ecology.
Many of us have walked the trails near A Avenue and wondered about the fenced-off, grassy mound tucked into the woods. That “no‑trespassing” area is the former A Avenue Landfill, a long-closed city dump that sits within the Anacortes Community Forest Lands. Today, it is the focus of a new round of environmental testing and planning led by the City of Anacortes and the Washington State Department of Ecology.
We’re excited to share some good news: the ACFL Forest Management Plan has been officially approved by the City of Anacortes!
