Friends of Discovery ParkMay 31, 10am-1pm @ Discovery Park Capehart Forest is the most wildlife-safe area in Discovery Park. Intensive efforts have been underway for many years to manage the forest that protects wildlife, including replacement of non-native plants with natives. Native plants are vulnerable in the first year or two after planting, and you can help us increase survival rates and biodiversity by joining this work party to weed invasive plants like bedstraw and grass; both are putting at risk the small native plants put into the ground last fall and winter. more |

Magnuson Park North Meadow, Interior Forest, and WetlandsMay 31, 9am-11am @ Warren G. Magnuson Park This event continues our spring cleaning. Our primary activities will be to remove thistle, patrol for blackberry, and mulch. We may also work on building some habitat for amphibians. It’s a great time to be in the park with the temperatures warming up! Many native plants are in bloom. Birds are nesting and their songs create a nice background chorus while we work. more |

Magnuson ReforestationMay 31, 10am-1pm @ 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 |
