Our community is lucky to have many dedicated individuals and groups who are working collaboratively with city staff to help restore native ecosystems and improve wildlife habitat in Edmonds' parks and green spaces. Whether it's taking on a long-term stewardship project or joining a work party for a day, we hope you'll get outside to help make a difference in your community!
Edmonds Wildlife Habitat & Native Plant Demonstration Garden
Did you know that the City of Edmonds is a Certified Community Wildlife Habitat? The Edmonds Wildlife Habitat & Native Plant Demonstration Garden located at the Willow Creek Hatchery at 95 Pine Street in Edmonds was planted in 2009 to show Edmonds residents how to make our urban environment more wildlife friendly. Currently run by volunteers from the Pilchuck Audubon Society, the garden hosts regular work parties on Saturdays, and invites the public to join them.

Edmonds Stewards
This group of dedicated volunteers have been working in Edmonds since 2015. Volunteer Stewards undergo training on invasive species removal, planting and other restoration techniques to support on-going habitat restoration projects during work parties that are hosted regularly in parks around Edmonds.
