Minecraft Meadow PlantingNovember 08, 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 planting 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 primarily be planting new wildflowers in a 600 square foot area. more |

Garry Oak tree PlantingNovember 22, 9:30am-12:30pm @ Discovery Park The best time to plant an oak tree is 30 years ago; the second-best time to plant an oak tree is today. Our native Garry oak tree is a keystone species to coastal bluffs and outwash soils of Puget Sound. Oak trees host more insects than almost any other plant in the area and insects are the basis of the food web. We'll be planting oaks in the open sunny areas of the south meadow. We'll also have some goldenrod and shore pines to plant as well. more |
