This wide variety of education opportunities continues to attract all levels of expertise. 54888 Youth Ecology Education Restoration (YEER): WNPS started a two-year pilot program in school years 2021-2023. It is an innovative new educational program, which ties WNPS stewards, teachers, students, and land managers together to bring the program to life. YEER includes two main components; a five-week Ecosystem Restoration Unit, during which students take on the role of restoration ecologists. The second is field experience, where the students partner with restoration experts, to implement restoration components typically over 3 days of field work. In 2022, the pilot program grew to include six schools, 3 in Western Washington and 3 in Eastern Washington with great results. The program included 1,414 students, 16 teachers, 24 WNPS or other stewards, and 10 Conservation District or Land Trust staff. 42530 45056 Native Plant Sales: WNPS chapters had hosted in-person plant sales in the past and during the pandemic came together to offer online sales at the chapter level for the sought after Native Plant Sales around the state. Customers liked the at-home shopping experience, along with knowing which plants are available. These sales provide extensive education and plant materials to home gardeners and landscapers utilizing native species in their landscapes. In 2022, an improved shopping model was developed, blending online with some selections of plants available during order pick up. Four chapter plant sale stores have been built, providing for chapter revenue to support programs, and resources in the community to support native plant gardening. Hundreds of customers have obtained plants through this program. 127646 45157 281094 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 19 0 true 5 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 27 27 false false false false false true true true true false true true true true true true true true false false false X Julie Russillo 2063672744 6310 NE 74th St 215E Seattle WA 98033 Denise Mahnke Business Mgr 40.00 0.00 X 68057 0 0 Mark Turner Director 1.00 0.00 X 1500 0 0 Keyna Bugner President 7.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Gail Sklar Vice President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Margaret Toth Treasurer 8.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ashley Shattuck Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Van Bobbitt Past President 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kathy Darrow Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joe Abken Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Kling Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Caisey Leigh Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Steven Clark Conserv.
