spurge laurel controlFebruary 22, 9:30am-12:30pm @ Discovery Park Spurge laurel is a class B noxious weed that is just coming into bloom in February. The seeds are spread by the birds, which means they proliferate where birds roost. The easiest means of control is very simply clipping the stem below the soil line. We need to complete this task before the savannah sparrows start defending their nesting territory. We will likely finish the spurge laurel midway through the event so will finish our day by cutting back blackberry. more |

Magnuson ReforestationFebruary 23, 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 and blackberry but may also include other tasks such as distributing wood chip mulch or planting if plants are available. Because the work may be beyond capability of youth below high school age, please get the leader’s permission before registering if younger. more |

Save Our Sand DuneFebruary 25, 9:30am-12:30pm @ Discovery Park We have a patch of blackberries that is threatening our treasured sand dune that overlooks the bluff. Himalayan blackberries send out runners that can expand their patch by 10 or 15 feet each year. Let's keep this invasive vine under control. We will cut it back with loppers first and then will dig up the root balls. This should be an easy task in the sand. more |
