Camas prairie restorationJuly 29, 10am-12:30pm @ Warren G. Magnuson Park We'll be working to maintain a special project of the Muckleshoot tribe and UW environmental science department. During the academic year, students are working in this area to create a camas prairie resplendent with plants that are culturally important to the Muckleshoot tribe including camas flowers, nodding wild onion, and more. Once established, this prairie will serve as a source for future restorations in the Puget Sound region. Weeds need to be knocked back this summer to keep previous efforts on track. Please join us to help remove thistle and invasive grasses. We'll also add more mulch. During the work party, we can talk about the multi-year project, learn about the plants, and the history of the area. more |

Magnuson ReforestationJuly 31, 9am-12pm @ Warren G. Magnuson Park Help improve habitat and create replacement forest on a formerly denuded navy airfield. (Above photo taken in Navy era). The aim is to create healthy forest habitat and increase beneficial ecosystem services including provision of human enjoyment and health. It is also an opportunity to enjoy nature and learn a bit about native plants while doing satisfying work. Work is most likely to include removing invasive plants like ivy, Canada thistle, and blackberry but may also include other tasks such as distributing wood chip mulch. Because the work may be beyond capability of youth below high school age, please get the leader’s permission before registering if younger. more |
