Low-Impact Rec and Research and Introduction to Invasives

SHADOW Lake Nature Preserve is helping our community become responsible stewards and ecologists! SHADOW’s Ecology Squad Classes will provide attendees with valuable training for land stewardship and ecological data collection and management.

To kick off our Ecology Squad series, we will be hosting a Low-Impact Recreation and Research and Introduction to Invasive Management class on Saturday, January 31st from 10am-1pm. Participants will learn best practices for hiking, basic noninvasive wildlife field methods, helpful tricks and tools, and some valuable information on invasive identification and management.

We will begin in the classroom and then venture outside for some hands-on identification.

Participants should come prepared with clothing appropriate for the weather and close-toed shoes, as well as water.

Please arrive at 21656 184th Ave SE, Renton WA by 9:45 to ensure a timely start to our class at 10:00am.

Volunteers or participants under the age of 18 years old must arrive to the site with the following Youth Liability Release form signed by their parent or guardian:
