Posters went up, materials were laid out, and conversations started almost immediately. Questions ranged from native plants to wildlife movement to mapping work happening across multiple parks.

Ruth shared the planting plan she created for spring 2026, along with the native plant education work she has been doing and the new plants scheduled to go into the ground this week. Together, they showed how the garden has grown through steady student care and long\u2011term planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dan, Max, and Aysha shared GIS and mapping work spanning both Saint Edward and Lake Sammamish State Parks. Max documented the quantity and location of invasive and native plants within active restoration zones at Lake Sammamish. Aysha created a large\u2011scale map showing past and current restoration sites around the lake, giving visitors a clear picture of how that work fits together over time. Dan shared his collaboration with Dr. Santiago Lopez to install new light and temperature sensors throughout Saint Edward, adding to CoSEE\u2019s ecological monitoring network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-npg-blog007-standard-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-npg-blog007-standard-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-npg-blog007-standard-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-npg-blog007-standard-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-npg-blog007-standard-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-npg-blog007-standard-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-npg-blog007-standard-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-npg-blog007-standard-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/cosee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2026\/05\/uwb-cosee-npg-blog007-standard-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ash\u2019s work highlighted both their work with Yard by Yard and Wildlife work with Dr. David Stokes.

It helped make it happen. By the end of the tabling event, nearly 20 volunteers had signed up to participate in a restoration project that same afternoon. Led by CoSEE invasive species intern Sydney, the group gathered outside and got to work removing invasive Himalayan blackberry at the park. By the end of the day, they had cleared far more than expected, showing what a focused group can accomplish in just a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many visitors, the afternoon offered a clear view of the range of work CoSEE interns take on and the different ways students contribute to the health of these parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A program built on experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Earth Day event also marked two years of CoSEE\u2019s Internship Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Program Manager Maddie Iem launched the program when she joined CoSEE nearly two years ago. Since then, the program has supported more than 70 students working alongside researchers, educators, and partner organizations across the region on projects rooted in real places and real needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The variety of tables in the room reflected that approach.
