About 18 volunteers on Saturday, June 16, worked near the Swinomish Tribe reservation at Turner’s Bay in Skagit County at the annual Skagit Dig Day. Volunteers got muddy for the Sound and finished clearing out two large areas where the invasive week Spartina has taken root from seeds. They really got a lot of work accomplished working for four hours! As always, the kids had a great time in the mud... including the grown up kids!
