92 volunteers from REI, Filson, Stanley, Brooks, Nikwax, Perpetual Motion NW and Cascade Designs particpated in our 9th Annual Seattle BAckyard Collective earlier this month. Employees from these Conservation Alliance member companies removed 15,373 square feet of invasive species to prepare a new area for planting, spread over 1,800 square feet of mulch and improved half an acre of forest.
A special thank you to Andrea Mojzak and her team at Forterra for organizing the volunteers. Also, thank you to Rick Meade of Nikwax who donated his time and energy to photographing the event.
