Before and after photos courtesy Joe Scordino Invasive nightshade plants are 'disappearing' from the Edmonds Marsh, thanks to the work of volunteers. This is the second season of volunteer work under an 'Adopt-A-Highway' Landscape Agreement with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). It allows volunteers to remove chain-link fencing and bittersweet nightshade that have damaged the wetland vegetation and blocked altered freshwater flows from Shellabarger Creek into the Edmonds Marsh-Estuary Wildlife Sanctuary.
