Salmon Creek Ravine Work Party Saturday

Hello Friend of Salmon Creek Ravine,

I hope you will join this last work party of 2011 for our Shorewood on the Sound Community. We will be working right behind the fence next to the Salmon Creek Sewer treatment plant entrance. As you might remember, the area was cleared of Himalayan Blackberry last Fall by Earth Corps when the pathway was along the fence repaired. Restoration of the area with plant native plants was done in the Winter and Spring.

Sadly, the Himalayan blackberry plants have survived in force and are smothering many of our newly-planted native plants. So our job will be to carefully remove the Himalayan blackberry vines from around our new plants. The good news is that the English Ivy is mostly gone.

You will appreciate using leather gloves for this job if you choose to join us. I will be happy to get you a pair if you do not have them. Also long pants, long-sleeved shirts and sturdy shoes. Long handled loppers are also helpful. The city will provide some tools especially for this job as well.

I look forward to working with you this Saturday. 10-Noon.

Thanks,
Jean
