Since 2009, Seattle has lost approx. 1,200 acres of canopy cover. That's an area of tree cover twice the size of Discovery Park lost from our neighborhoods. We need an update to our tree protection code. Sign the petition for stronger tree protection now! https://t.co/cc82vIXrDp

Also be mindful of mowing for nesting sparrows, juncos, and other ground-nesting birds! We are in peak nesting season right now so keep a look out for young fledglings and active nests. #nestingseason#birdsafegardening
Be untidy! If you leave a part of your garden wild, don't mow, don't use pesiticides, you would be amazed the difference it can make for our native bees!
