Do you have the supplies you’ll need if outdoor air gets smoky?

If you have a central air unit in your home, make sure you have replacement filters. You may need to replace your filter if smoky air persists, and they could be in short supply.

If you’re concerned about poor indoor air quality, consider getting a box fan and a filter with a MERV 13 rating of the same dimension. You can use these to create a box fan filter.

And if you plan to purchase a portable air cleaner with a HEPA filter, start your shopping now. Don’t forget to check manufacturer specifications to make sure it’s appropriate for the size of the room it will be used in. Here’s a list of recommended devices: https://tinyurl.com/3jjswrh9

The Washington Bee Atlas, a project of our Pollinator Program, is launching a new initiative to tell the story of how farms and other agricultural landowners are supporting native bees — and how bees are supporting our farms and food systems!

We're looking for agricultural landowners to sign up for the program which will allow our trained volunteers to collect native bees on their farms.

If you are a photographer, you can participate, too by taking photos of native bees on farms. Check out our latest blog to learn more at https://agr.wa.gov/about-wsda/blog-posts?article=47036

A question we get pretty often: “Why didn’t I hear back after I submitted my invasive species report?”

First off, thank you for taking the time to report it. Every single report matters and is reviewed by experts.

And second, if our team doesn’t contact you for additional photos or questions, that usually means you gave us what we needed.

Not every report leads to a field investigation or direct follow-up. Some species are already widespread and don’t require an onsite response. But your report still has value. It’s stored in our database and helps us track species and guide management decisions.

Community reporting is vital! We couldn’t manage the spread of invasive species without your help.

Your reports help us understand what’s happening across Washington, which directly supports prevention, early detection, and long-term invasive species management.

And for that, we sincerely thank you. ❀
