Join us! Weekly Sunday Work PartyDecember 22, 9am-12pm @ Twin Ponds Park The cottonwood and alder by the creek created blankets of fallen leaves in this area--instant mulch! With the creek's water level low, we ventured to the other side to grub a few blackberry roots. When we pushed aside the leaves, we found tangled webs of bindweed roots--yuk! But at least they are easily accessible since they start on the surface. All this to say, we will be pulling and bagging these awful roots for awhile. There's plenty to do so join us! more |

Northcrest Park - 2024 Restoration Event #16 - LAST ONE FOR 2024December 28, 10am-12pm @ Northcrest Park Join us for a great way to end the year in the park. There's a bit of cleaning up to do around where we planted in November - some holly, ivy, and a few blackberries to remove before the winter settles in. We'll take a break in January so get your nature on in December and then we'll pick it back up in February with new priorities! Thank you! more |

Shoreline Park Work PartyDecember 28, 10am-12pm @ Shoreline Park Please join us in keeping the small forest of Shoreline Park beautiful. If we love this park, it will keep loving us right back. We're dreaming of a park free of invasive plants and filled with native plants. Work areas are manageable and it's easy to see the difference we've made so far. We'll be cutting and digging out Himalayan blackberry, rolling up carpets of English ivy, and working to preserve the trailing blackberry, salal, ferns, bleeding heart, and other native plants already thriving. We'll also be hauling mulch to the cleared area. more |
