WEAN leads opposition to Navy training in parks
"The Navy wants to significantly expand its locations for realistic military exercises in coastal northwestern Washington, and a Whidbey group wants people to know more about the covert activity.
In a plan to be presented to the State Parks Commission, Navy personnel would engage in “Naval Special Operations Training” at up to 29 state parks, four county sites, eight city sites, 17 other public sites and two private marinas.
Whidbey Environmental Action Network, known as WEAN, is leading an effort to notify people about the Navy’s plans."

This time of year, all of the fantastic blooms we enjoy start to peek out from under the sleepy ground of winter. Unfortunately, it’s also the time of year that pesky Scotch broom begins to bloom in the Pacific Northwest. From April to June, you can expect to see this pretty, but highly invasive, plant popping up everywhere.
In our blog, WEAN founder Steve Erickson outlines his time-tested method for managing this difficult weed. Hint: it takes repetition, dedication, and time.
