Although sometimes inconvenient, these things all make our island what it is and are why most of us moved here in the first place. Learn how to live life to the fullest here on Camano Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you live on Camano, whether you just moved here or you have been here for a generation or more, this free event will help you. Find out about the best trails, how to live with a septic system and what programs are available for seniors. Learn how to manage yard waste and recyclables, prepare for emergencies, prune an orchard, start a garden, or landscape for wildlife. Volunteer to help clean beaches, maintain trails, or greet park visitors. Sign up for educational programs, volunteer opportunities, or get expert advice on forest and pasture management, all at the Camano Center. Bring your questions and meet your neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This community event is free and open to all. Family friendly, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" wsu-font-size--large\">Thank you all that were able to attend our event on Saturday, April 5, 2025, 10 am &#8211; 1 p.m. &#8211; the <strong>next Camano 101 will be scheduled for fall 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Demonstrations and Presentations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Join our tree-planting demo at 11:00 and get a free native tree or shrub!
