REMEMBERING SUSIE SCHAEFER

We are saddened to learn of the passing of Susie Schaefer on Saturday, July 25. Among many of her accomplishments, Susie was the founder of Edmonds’ unique native plant garden, which the City of Edmonds recently renamed the Susie Schaefer Wildlife and Native Plant Community Garden in her honor.

WE'RE HIRING!

Education & Outreach Coordinator
This is a part-time (20 hrs/week, $25/hr) role leading PAS's youth and adult education programs — school presentations, nature walks, library programs, and community events. We're looking for someone enthusiastic about environmental education and skilled with diverse audiences.

Full job description & how to apply →

TEACHERS NEEDED: 5-MINUTE SURVEY

Help us build place-based curriculum using our Vaux's Swift data. Our University of Washington summer intern is surveying teachers (any grade level, public or private) as part of a curriculum-building project, but we're still short of her goal for interviewees. Can you help?

If interested, email: director@pilchuckaudubon.org
