Vashon and Maury Island are special places. They feature uncommon habitat types and niches for native plants and animals that don’t occur much on the mainland. Beaches, bluffs, bays, creeks and forests all host their own special kinds of nature. Added to this are the many gardens, farms and fields that make the island such a welcoming place to live and visit. Unfortunately, the Island’s natural areas and farms are also being threatened increasingly by the impacts of invasive plants.
