Planting at Taylor Creek

Eighty volunteers gathered on a rain-splashed morning to plant native trees and shrubs in the Taylor Creek wetland. Members of the Washington Conservation Corps gave planting demonstrations and showed volunteers how to dip bare root plants into a special nutrient solution. Volunteers also received a tour of the wetland from King County ecologist Laura Hartema. By the end of the day, they had planted 1,500 native trees and shrubs along a recovering stretch of Taylor Creek. The event was filmed by King County as part of a series on habitat restoration. It is expected to air later this month.
