The Madrona Beach restoration continues to move forward now that the busy summer beach season is done. The next big push is to begin planting the new plants and vegetation.

The Madrona Beach Restoration Committee is asking for volunteers to come help out at a Planting Party on Sunday, October 24, from 9 am to noon. Participants should bring gloves and any shovels, trowels or plastic buckets to move dirt that they can bring. Some basic tools, coffee, water and treats will be provided.

At the last work party, back in August, volunteers cleared the streambed to reveal the colorful tiles below. Also forthcoming is a specially designed log for playing, which is slated to be installed on site this fall.
