Discovery Park - Planting Party at Discovery …11/30/2019

Activities

Thanksgiving is over, but you can show your gratitude to this planet by helping to build a healthy forest! Healthy forests provide many services for our community – rain water absorption and filtration, oxygen production, wildlife habitat, and vibrant spaces for connection.

We have 100 plants that need your help to take root in their new homes! Join other volunteers to help restore this site back to a healthy ecosystem that can support a diversity of plants and wildlife.

In addition to planting, there will be some invasive species removal. We will teach you how to identify and remove invasive species and how to maintain areas where these weeds have been extracted. Removing aggressive weeds like English Ivy and Himalayan Blackberry is necessary for the survival of our new native plants. Everyone is welcome – no experience necessary.

All ages OK

22 out of 20 participants registered.
