SUMMARY:Beach Exploration for Family and Friends
DESCRIPTION:@Rockaway Beach\nWhat to expect when you join us on the beach:\nThis is a great free\, rain or shine family activity\, and is open to the public. Look for the naturalists wearing neon green vests. You will likely get your feet wet\, so boots are recommended\, or shoes that you don’t mind getting wet and that protect your feet.  Rockaway Beach is very rocky and uneven\, great for tidepools and critters\, but can be difficult walking.  A walking stick can be helpful if you might have trouble walking over the rocks.  Please leave your dog at home\, they can be disruptive to the critters we are seeing.  Parking at Rockaway is extremely limited.  Please carpool if you can\, and park diagonally so we can fit in more cars.  Hope you will join us!

SUMMARY:Island-wide Litter Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:April is Earth Month\, so choose a day to go out and pick up a nearby roadway or trash-strewn area. Maybe you’ll make it a habit and have it become official by adopting a stretch of road to clean up on a regular basis through the City of Bainbridge Island’s Adopt a Spot program. \nIf you don’t have your own grabber\, trash bags and disposal method\, here’s what you can do: \n\nBorrow a grabber from BI Zero Waste. Email Diane Landry to inquire.\nPick up white trash bags at Bainbridge Disposal’s Coppertop office\, 9423 NE Business Park Ln.\, even outside of business hours. (See photo below of bin containing litter bags.) Take a litter cleanup guideline sheet from the bin\, too.\nFill up bag(s) with roadside litter and place next to your own or a neighbor’s (with permission) trash can\, and during April it will be picked up for free. Or you can drop off the designated litter bag(s) for free at the Bainbridge Disposal Transfer Station during April.\nFill up regular trash bags with recyclables and dispose of relatively clean\, non-flat cans and bottles in your regular recycling. Read below for what to do with dirty or flat cans and bottles.\n\n \nLitter Pick-up Guidelines\nBefore you start \n\nChoose a roadway or lot.\nWear bright\, reflective clothing if picking up along a road.\nUse the white Kitsap trash bag if you want to dispose of litter for free.\nBorrow a grabber\, if you like\, from Zero Waste. Request from bizerowaste@sustainablebainbridge.org.\n\nWhen you finish \n\nSet your white Kitsap bag of trash next to a regular garbage can (with permission if not yours) or take to the transfer station and let the booth attendant know how many bags you have. Bainbridge Disposal is tracking how many bags are collected.\nEmpty your bag of recyclables into your curbside recycling cart. (Do not recycle the plastic bag in the cart.)\nPlease send bizerowaste@sustainablebainbridge.org a short email to say…\n\n\nGeneral location of pick-up\nName of group or organization if a collective clean-up\nNumber of bags of trash\nNumber of bags of recyclables\nOptional:  any photos or anecdotes\n\nWhat to do with certain recyclables you pick up \n\nDirt-filled glass bottles – Put in trash.\nDirty\, cracked plastic bottles – Put in trash.\nLiquid-filled bottles that you can’t empty – Put in trash.\nDirt-filled aluminum cans – Put in trash.\nCompletely flat aluminum cans – Recycle in scrap metal at the BI Senior/Community Center or transfer station or put in the trash. (If flat cans get put in curbside recycling\, they tend to get separated with paper at the sorting facility\,  contaminating the paper stream.)\n\nGeneral safety guidelines \n\nDo not pick up anything hazardous\, sharp\, large or heavy. This includes needles (even if they’re contained)\, chemical containers with liquids\, containers with unknown liquids\, furniture\, tires\, etc.\nWe don’t encourage anyone to empty containers for recycling because they may contain needles or biohazardous liquid.\nHighway cleanups are not advised.\nHigh-vis is required for roadsides.\n\nThank you for helping to keep Bainbridge Island litter-free!

SUMMARY:Beach Exploration for Family and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Bainbridge Island Beach Naturalists are planning our first nighttime low-tide beach exploration in several years. It can be a different world on the beach after dark. Come join us as we check it out\, Friday\, January 10\, 7:30 – 8:30pm at the BI Ferry Terminal Beach. \nTo get to the beach\, take the Waterfront Park trail\, cross the ravine bridge\, continue on the Waterfront trail straight across Harborview Drive. Either way\, look for the sandwich board which will direct you to the beach access. Beach naturalists will be identifiable by their bright vests. Come join in. Hope to see you there. \nPreparation: \n\nBring a flashlight to get to the destination.\nThis is a great family event\, but please do not bring your dog.\nWe suggest wearing shoes or boots that can get muddy and wet because we will be walking in muddy\, rocky areas\, as well as shallow water.\nPut on rain gear as the weather dictates.\nCobblestones and seaweed can make footing challenging for some. If that’s you bring your walking support.\n\nParking and Directions: \nParking is easiest and free in downtown Winslow.  Head to Waterfront Park and take the trail to the ravine bridge. After crossing the bridge\, continue on to Harborview Drive. Cross the street and look for the sandwich board\, which will direct you to the beach access.  Or you can use any of the ferry terminal paid lots which are close and walk to Harborview Drive\, which is the street at the stoplight at the top of the ferry waiting zone. Walk down the street and turn left at the sandwich board\, which will direct you to the beach access. Beach naturalists will be identifiable by their bright vests. Come join in. Hope to see you there.

SUMMARY:Beach Exploration for Family and Friends
DESCRIPTION:BI Beach Naturalists invite you to come join us for an exploration of the wonderful rocky tide pools of the intertidal zone at Rockaway Beach Bainbridge Island. \nThis will be the last of the 2024 summer beach explorations on Bainbridge Island. Rockaway Beach is a small conservancy park on the east side of the island. There is a short stairway to the beach. As the tide goes out it leaves behind many small rocky pools that are full of sea life. It’s a wonderful time to sit quietly and watch for small critters as they survive this challenging time exposed to new predators and a completely different environment than they normally have. This beach is also usually covered by a wide variety of seaweeds that create hiding places for many lifeforms. We will gently peek into this world. \nFamilies are welcome. \n\nParking is limited so consider walking\, biking or car pooling. If everyone angle parks it will allow for more vehicles. Additional parking is around the corner and up the hill\, a bit of a walk.\nParticipants at this event will be engaged in walking on uneven terrain\, slippery rocks\, getting hands wet\, and body motions such as bending\, kneeling and squatting on the ground to see the creatures along the shoreline.\nBoots are not required\, but we recommend wearing shoes or boots that can get wet and will protect your feet from the sharp rocks on this beach.\nWhile this is a public beach\, we recommend not bringing your dog\, even leashed\, due to the fragility of the creatures exposed at this extremely low tide. Dogs are naturally curious about wildlife\, so it is important we are good stewards of our shoreline environments.\nService animals are welcome.\n\nThis event is rain or shine!

SUMMARY:Beach Exploration for Family and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Please join beach naturalists out on the beach at the Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal. It’s a very low tide\, which is the best time to find critters that live in the intertidal zone.  It’s always an adventure as we explore\, see our usual inhabitants\, share stories about their lives\, and maybe find a few surprises as well.  This will be our first beach exploration since the construction was started at the ferry terminal\, and we are looking forward to being back at one of our favorite spots on the island.  We are excited that this is a joint exploration with IslandWood. \nTo get to the beach\, take the Waterfront  Park trail\, cross the ravine bridge\, continue on the waterfront trail straight across Harborview Drive.

SUMMARY:Beach Exploration
DESCRIPTION:NOTE:  Due to the corona virus\, this event has been cancelled.  That doesn’t mean that you can’t get out and enjoy exploring our island beaches at this low tide opportunity.  We just can’t hold a public event at this time.\nAt the site:\nThere is limited parking at this site\, so please minimize your use of the space and carpool if possible. \nWhat to expect when you join us on the beach:\n\nLook for the naturalists wearing neon green vests.\nWear shoes or boots that can get wet. You will be walking in the shallow water along the shore for much of the time. Tall rubber boots are the footwear of choice.\nThe beach can be much colder than the rest of the island\, so wear layers that you can add as necessary.\nKids are great explorers; dogs should not be brought to these events.\nYou might want the added stability of a hiking stick as the rocks can be very slippery when wet and covered with seaweed; one beach access involves a scramble over the rocks.
