We are excited to have Jennifer Carlson, of Haven Illustrated, speaking on 'Creating Your Own Backyard Haven' on Saturday, April 26th in Brier.  The class if being funded by a Department of Ecology grant to help improve the health of Scriber and Swamp Creeks.  Snohomish Conservation District is partnering with the Adopt-A-Stream Founcation on restoration projects in this area as well.

Here are some ideas from Jennifer's yard in north Seattle:

The Carlson backyard chickens get to live in this unique condo!

One of the topics that Jennifer will cover is water recapture. Her yard serves as a test site for Seattle Public Utility's efforts to train citizens to conserve water.
