SUMMARY:SB Partner KEC-Living with Finite Water
DESCRIPTION:KEC Presents\nLiving with Finite Water \nDespite living on the wet side of the Cascades\, we are not immune from another year of drought in Washington state. Join us tomorrow\, May 17\, when we’ll explore Kitsap water sources\, regulatory protections\, the impact of increased development\, and what you can do to Keep Kitsap Green. \nDetails: \nDate:  Sunday\, May 17\, 2026 \nTime:  3:00 – 5:00 p.m. \nWhere: The Village Green – 26159 Dulay Rd NE | Kingston \nFor Kitsap Peninsula residents groundwater drawn from wells is the primary—often the only—source of drinking water. As our population grows\, demand on this limited resource increases. Because the peninsula is surrounded by seawater\, it is particularly vulnerable to declining groundwater levels and seawater intrusion—risks that intensify as withdrawals rise. \nJoe Lubischer will give the lowdown on how the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and the County’s Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO) are applied in Kitsap County. Ben Harrison\, Environmental Scientist for the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe\, will discuss watersheds\, and Don Fenton\, Island Lake resident\, will share the history of dropping lake water levels and the aquifer below\, considered a local “canary in a coal mine” for water health in Kitsap. Local artist and marine naturalist\, John Wililams\, will also present. \nEarly bird bonus: The first 20 attendees can take their pick of either a native plant or a special sticker designed by artist Laurel Mundy. \nThis is intended to be a family-friendly event – kids’ crafts and refreshments will be available. Please feel free to bring something to share!

We identify relationships in the ecosystem and see the ecosystem itself as a complex system. This has implications for how we approach managing nature and our impact on it—how do we avoid unintended consequences when we finite humans are making decisions about something that is infinitely complex? \nFOOD DONATION: Bring a food donation for Fishline & ShareNet (canned or boxed – see food list) \nSNACKS: Share your favorites (cookies\, desserts)

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: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!
