18 Friends of Discovery Park October 18, 10am-12pm @ Discovery Park Capehart Forest is the most wildlife-diverse area in Discovery Park. Come help us promote forest health and increase its biodiversity by weeding out invasives, mulching and aerate the soil to encourage symbiotic fungi, and plant this years native shrubs and groundcovers. Miyawaki forests are densely planted, fast-growing pocket forests created using a diverse mix of native species. Developed by botanist Akira Miyawaki, this method jump-starts natural regeneration—mini-forests grow 10–30 times faster than conventional plantings, require little maintenance once established, and quickly create rich habitat for birds and wildlife. Check out this excellent YouTube video on Miyawaki forest gardens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUABUetUayM Discovery Park has its own Miyawaki-style mini-forests adjacent to the Capehart restoration area, and they’re already transforming former housing land into vibrant native woodland. To keep these young forests thriving, Friends of Discovery Park at Capehart focuses its work parties on tending, mulching, and supporting these dense new plantings. If you’d like to help restore biodiversity, learn about this innovative reforestation method, and see the Capehart area evolving firsthand, please join us. Your hands-on help makes a real difference in the health and future of Discovery Park’s newest forests. more
21 Wildflower Meadow Creation October 21, 9:30am-12:30pm @ Discovery Park The south meadow is dominated by mainly 4 exotic grasses. This near monoculture is not great for wildlife habitat. We will be creating a small area devoid of grasses for planting 30 different species of native wildflowers to support our many pollinators and birds. We are using the recommended methodology to create new wildflower meadows according to the Xerces Society and Northwest Meadowscapes. The process will include site preparations, planting, and spreading seeds. more
27 Junes Cathedral - Prepare for Planting October 27, 9:30am-12:30pm @ Discovery Park We have finally cleared the area of blackberries and ivy! Today we'll move to the next phase of the project - spreading mulch and removing any stragglers we missed in the previous events. Of course, we do have more blackberries to cut and dig out at the new zone we just started on, so there's plenty of options for lopping and digging, too. more

31 Tree Planting the Forest Edge October 31, 9:30am-12:30pm @ Discovery Park "The best day to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second best time is now." We have a bunch of evergreen trees and some shrubs that will be re-establishing the forest edge where blackberries once claimed the territory. The area is currently grassland so we'll be removing the grass, amending the soil with woodchips and providing a nice mulch ring to hold the moisture in. more
