SUMMARY:SB Partner: KEC Presents "Water in Nature-Working with Its Connectivity"
DESCRIPTION:SPEAKER:  \nJohn Williams\, Publisher of Salish Magazine \nAn exploration of the many facets of our local marine and freshwater – as habitat\, a transportation medium\, a food delivery system\, and an important\npart of the chemical processes of living things. 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:BI Environmental Conference
DESCRIPTION:The conference is an annual collaborative effort of multiple community organizations. This year\, experts will lead guided walks to teach how to identify plants and wildlife and train how to use the community science app\, iNaturalist. These skills will help get you ready for the nationwide Nature Challenge that will take place the last weekend in April\, where communities around the country compete to see how much biodiversity they can identify in their local environments! \nThere will also be exhibits in the welcome hall\, and the Environmentalist of the Year award will be presented. \nLearn more and register here.

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!

SUMMARY:SB Partner - Land Trust's Invasive Weed Disposal
DESCRIPTION:Sundays\, April 21st and 28th from 10 am to 4 pm. Bainbrige Island Land Trust is here to help you get your yard in order with two days of FREE Invasive Weed Disposal! Bring your weeds to the transfer station and the Land Trust will cover the cost of disposal. \nInvasive plant targets are Scotch broom\, English holly\, English ivy\, Himalayan blackberry\, tansy ragwort\, English laurel\, and the noxious weeds on King County’s “Noxious Weed” list. Please do not mix in non-invasive yard waste. For questions about whether or not something will be accepted\, email Andrew Fraser\, Land Trust Stewardship Manager\, or call (206) 842-1216. \nInvasive plant species are one of the leading causes of vegetation biodiversity loss. They spread quickly and can displace native plants\, prevent new native plant growth\, and create monocultures. Lack of diversity among native plants reduces the quality and quantity of fish and wildlife habitat. Remove your invasives now while the ground is soft and make room for native plants come fall and winter when the weather is best for planting!

For questions about whether or not something will be accepted\, email Andrew Fraser\, Land Trust Stewardship Manager\, or call (206) 842-1216. \nInvasive plant species are one of the leading causes of vegetation biodiversity loss. They spread quickly and can displace native plants\, prevent new native plant growth\, and create monocultures. Lack of diversity among native plants reduces the quality and quantity of fish and wildlife habitat. Remove your invasives now while the ground is soft and make room for native plants come fall and winter when the weather is best for planting!

SUMMARY:Bainbridge Islandwide Litter Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:April is Earth Month\, so choose a day to go out and pick up a nearby roadway or trash-strewn area. \nKitsap’s Adopt-a-Spot folks and Bainbridge Disposal are making it easy by providing bags and free trash disposal\, respectively. Just stop by the front courtyard of the Bainbridge Disposal office at Coppertop and look for the bin containing bags and a guidelines sheet (see below). Then follow the directions for a successful clean-up.  You can even email Zero Waste to arrange to borrow a grabber. \nBefore you start \n\nChoose a roadway or area.\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 this April.\nBorrow a grabber\, if you like\, from Zero Waste. Request from bizerowaste@sustainablebainbridge.org.\n\nWhen you finish\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 the following:\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 but encouraged: photos and anecdotes\n\n         What to do with certain recyclables \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 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\n           General 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-visibility clothing is required for roadsides.
