Activities

I’m inviting all of Troop 186 to help with my Eagle Scout project. Below are the details:

Who: All Scouts, parents, and anyone from Troop 186 who is willing to help. No special experience is needed—just a good attitude and willingness to work outdoors.

What: We will be removing invasive blackberry and ivy, clearing the work area, and planting native trees, ferns, salal, and Oregon grapes. I’ll give a short safety talk and explain how to identify the invasive plants and how to plant the new ones. Tools will be provided by the park, and I will bring extra gloves and supplies.

Where: Ravenna Park in Seattle. I will send a map, meeting spot, and parking instructions a few days before the project so everyone knows exactly where to go.

When: Saturday, November 29. We will meet at 8:00 AM and work until around 1:00PM, depending on how fast everything gets done. We will take a pizza and water break around noon.

Why: This project will help restore a section of Ravenna Park by removing harmful invasive plants that block native growth. Planting native species will support local wildlife, improve the health of the forest, and help Seattle Parks and Recreation keep the park in good condition for the community.

Please let me know if you can come so I know how many volunteers to plan for. Thanks a lot—I really appreciate the support!
