Friends of Camano Island Parks strives to keep Camano a wildlife friendly island by training volunteers to serve as Habitat Stewards to help the community create, preserve, enhance, and restore wildlife habitat. The training includes topics ranging from identifying native plants to creating a personal wildlife sanctuary. The previous two trainings had been five Thursdays in February and March from 6:30 to 8:45 p.m., and included two Saturday field trips. Before planning another Habitat Stewards Training, we are seeking scheduling preferences. If you’re interested in the class, please let us know if you’d prefer a different time of year, a condensed version during a couple weekends, or have another suggestion. Let us know by calling 360-387-2236 or e-mailing camanowildlifehabitat@gmail.com.
