Join us to celebrate Earth Day at Robert Y. Pratt Preserve at Ebey's Landing! The bluff at Ebey’s Landing is a windswept headland laced by one of Western Washington’s most popular coastal trails. The trail offers stunning views: on a clear day, the Olympic Peninsula and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, south to Mount Rainier, and east over historic farmland and prairie to the Cascade Mountains. This event will start with a hike along the bluff trail followed by a beach clean-up as we move along the beach on our way back to the parking lot. Every year, large amounts of micro and macro garbage washes up along the beach due to winter tides. With help from volunteers like you, we can help remove garbage, make sure the beaches stay clean, and take care of this beautiful preserve.
