January 2025 Beach Cleanup
Puget Creek Park
Start the New Year with a resolution! Join us on Saturday, January 11th, from 11am to 1:30pm at Puget Creek Natural Area for an essential beach cleanup aimed at stopping pollution that travels from the "ground to Sound to beach to ocean." Assist in cleaning up a local park and creek that significantly contributes to the spread of plastic pollution, trash, and litter into our local salmon habitats, waterways, and coastlines. Register at the above link. For more information on Puget Creek Park please visit https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/puget-creek-natural-area
