Hikes and Outings

Admiralty Inlet Preserve

Join the Natural History Society on Thursday, May 15th for an all day
outing to the Admiralty Inlet Preserve on Whidbey Island. We will take
the 9:30 ferry, then hike through Ft. Casey to the prairie looking for
Castilleja levisecta (golden paintbrush). Kyle Ostermick-Durkee,
Stewardship Specialist for the Whidbey Camano Land Trust (WCLT) and
Project Lead for this prairie restoration, will lead us on a tour of
the Admiralty Inlet Preserve. Cleveland Hall, WCLT Prairie Nursery
volunteer, will join him. Please RSVP to Michele for details and
