Join TNC Washington and other volunteers for a day out at Ebey’s Landing to explore the hiking trails and participate in a beach clean-up.
Ebey’s Landing is a 554-acre reserve offering scenic, recreational and interpretive opportunities for visitors. Ecological treasures to explore at this site include one of Western Washington’s most popular coastal trails (complete with Douglas fir trees and rare golden paintbrush plants), beautiful wetlands, prairie habitats and a coastal bluff offering sweeping views of the Olympic Peninsula and the Strait de Juan de Fuca, southwards to Mount Rainier and eastwards to the Cascade Mountains. The Nature Conservancy owns and manages the Robert Y Pratt Preserve on the western shore of Whidbey Island near Coupeville.
For this event, we’ll be hiking the Bluff Trail, which takes us up a dirt trail along the bluff before looping us back towards the trailhead via the beach. Once on the beach, we’ll comb the beach for microplastics and other other garbage as we make our way back. The coastal bluff trail is a 3.5 mile loop hike, mostly level with some steep, narrow, and sandy sections.
When: Friday, May 10th 10:00am-2:00pm
Where: Ebey’s Landing, Whidbey Island
This event is suitable for most ages, requires frequent bending, and walking for extended periods. Registration is required.
