Activities

Join the movement! Come see why Seattle has been recognized as a role model city by the United Nations Environment Program. It's all a part of the Decade of Ecological Restoration. We'll be led by UW Restoration Ecology students. 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. AN EVEN BETTER PERK IS WE'LL HAVE PIZZA PROVIDED BY TUTTA BELLA.

What to Bring

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)

Where to Meet

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). If you're late, look for us 200' down the gravel road.
