BACKYARD WILDLIFE HABITAT GARDEN
TOUR
Visit wildlife gardens at the Sixth Annual Camano Island
Backyard Wildlife Habitat Garden Tour Saturday, June 29, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. The
event is free to the public. Pick up maps at Camano Multipurpose Center (AKA —
The Blue Building), 141 E Camano Drive, the day of the event. Besides a lovely
garden tour on the island, the Wildlife Habitat Garden Tour will demonstrate how
people can live happily in harmony with nature, show how any property can be a
Backyard Wildlife Habitat, and promote awareness of the National Wildlife
Federation's Backyard Wildlife Habitat Program — just by providing food, water,
shelter and places to raise a family. These elements may be present naturally or
be provided by the homeowner. Gardens range from small to large, simple to
extravagant, forested to waterfront. Information on native plants, wildlife,
composting, as well as challenges faced on particular properties will be
available. Camano Island is the 10th community in the nation to be certified by
the National Wildlife Federation as a Community Wildlife Habitat with more than
801 individual properties certified as Backyard Wildlife Habitats. The tour is
sponsored by the Camano Wildlife Habitat Project of Friends of Camano Island
Parks. For more information about the tour, visit www.camanowildlifehabitat.org,
