Updated with photos from Edmonds Marsh cleanup event
While Earth Day 2025 won’t be here officially until Tuesday, Edmonds volunteers got an early start, gathering at various parks and other locations to do their part for the good of the community and the planet.
Under the leadership of the Edmonds Stewards, volunteers joined to remove English ivy, holly and other invasive plants at Hutt and Yost parks and spread mulch in the buffer area around the Edmonds Marsh. At the Edmonds Marina, volunteers donned scuba gear to remove years of debris buildup from under the moorages.
