Camas prairie restorationJuly 22, 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 will work 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 |

Kubota forest work - always ivy!July 25, 10am-12pm @ Kubota Gardens Natural Area So much ivy! Every month, volunteers work on removing ivy so that trees, bushes, ferns and other native plants have room to grow. As you will quickly see, the ivy covers large areas of ground and is climbing up trees. We also are discovering small Himalayan blackberry plants and getting those out immediately is a priority. No experience is needed - just bring your energy and interest in making a difference! Did I mention the homemade cookies? more |
