Discovery Park - South Meadow Vista - …02/02/2024
Activities
Help us open up a new site that overlooks the south meadow. With the guidance of the UW Restoration Ecology Network, we'll start removing blackberry from one of the most scenic restoration sites in the city. We are calling the site Lizard Haven due to the many northern alligator lizards seen in the area (though not this time of year). Our primary task will be moving blackberry canes and digging up blackberry roots. We'll have pitchforks, rakes, hand tillers, and heavy duty shovels to accomplish our task.
As an added perk, we will get a short lesson on restoration ecology techniques or philosophy from current students of the curriculum.

Work gloves, boots, weather appropriate clothes (thermal liner layer recommended) that you don't mind getting dirty and something to stay hydrated. (I have some loaner gloves if you don't have your own).

Meet at the junction of the gravel meadow access road and the westerly parade grounds paved park road. This is 900' WSW of the large white radar tower and is a 10 minute walk from the south parking lot (please allow enough time to walk to and from the meeting site).
