Activities

The south meadow is dominated by mainly 4 exotic grasses. This near monoculture is not great for wildlife habitat. We will be creating a small area devoid of grasses for planting 30 different species of native wildflowers to support our many pollinators and birds. We are using the recommended methodology to create new wildflower meadows according to the Xerces Society and Northwest Meadowscapes. The process will include site preparations, hauling wheelbarrows of woodchips and planting.
