Call for Volunteers
Do you want to save GICCA some serious money? We’re looking for one or two people to mow the grass at the Stage (not the whole Park!) twice a month, starting in April (if it ever stops raining). Each mowing saves us $120, so if we can get volunteers, we will save over $2,000! If you have a riding mower and can commit to one or two shifts for the entire summer, please contact us at volunteer@myguemes.org
We are watering those plants at the Stage that are still getting established or have just been moved. We are looking for a volunteer to water weekly; some plants only need once or twice a month, and we’ll keep looking for ways to make it as easy as possible. If you are interested in helping get our plants growing, contact us at volunteer@myguemes.org
Weekly landscaping sessions every Wednesday from 9:00-10:30. Bring your tools or use ours, but bring your gloves!
Guemes Island Cleanup and Recycling Day
April 18 th , 2026 10 till Noon
Begin and End at the Schoolhouse Park
Adding to the 2026 Earth Day celebrations, Groundfloor Guemes is hosting an
all-island Cleanup and Recycling Day. As in previous years, we invite you to
bring your work gloves and join fellow islanders at 10 AM at the Schoolhouse
Park, pick up tongs and trash bags, and head out to selected roadsides or
beaches. Return to the park with the collected debris no later than Noon.
Truck support will be available to help you transport large found items (tires,
metal, etc.) back to the awaiting dump trailer at the park. The collected trash
will then be removed from the island by the Skagit County Public Works Dept.
This year we have expanded the Cleanup Day to include the recycling of
selected items, as follows:
Batteries – Any and All, from teeny to huge in size
Propane tanks – Empty, up to 10 gallons in size
Empty plastic nursery Pots: All sizes
Of course, RE-USE is better than RECYCLING, so if you are in need of some of the
garden pots, come to the park between 10 and Noon and take what you can use.
