A hardy crew of VBA volunteers is working to maintain and restore habitat in the Paradise Valley Preserve in partnership with the Vashon-Maury Island Land Trust. The crew removes invasive plants and installs native trees and shrubs, critical work that addresses climate change (trees store carbon), improves water quality, and provides food and shelter for our resident and migratory birds. With the arrival of spring, this is a wonderful time to get outside, learn about native plants, and work on behalf of birds! During nesting season, the crew meets every other week.
