3rd Saturday WorkParty @ Viewpoint Park (North Loop)April 19, 9:30am-12:30pm @ Cheasty GS: Cheasty Blvd Join Us for a Rewarding Day of Forest Restoration! For this event we will be focusing on planting grasses, shrubs, and trees in and around wetlands that have been recently cleared of invasive plants by volunteers and Seattle Parks natural areas crews. While we plant we can observe the young skunk cabbage emerging from the wetland and hear the trickle of stream. All this is good therapy and escape from current events. We look forward to seeing you there! Quoting the ancient Greek proverb: “A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit in.” more |
