Work Parties on the Calendar

Greetings Friends and Neighbors,
After three months of ‘vacation’ from scheduling community work parties, I have the privilege to tell you about two work parties that are on the calendar:
Shorewood Park on Feb. 11th – to remove those English ivy shoots and continue pushing the big stands out of the park. Also, we have had lots of branches fall – great mulch except those that are covering our new native plantings, so we can artistically replace those. And I will have some baby native conifer trees to plant.
Salmon Creek Ravine on March 10th – The City has generously ordered (and paid for) a wonderful selection of native plants from the King Conservation District bare root sale. We will have enough to begin planting along the creek past the Sewer Treatment Plant fence!
As always, no need to sign up. Just join the party at 10AM. Please call or email me if you have questions.
FYI, These work parties are sponsored by Shorewood on the Sound Community Club, City of Burien and the Environmental Science Center.
Jean Spohn
Volunteer Steward of Shorewood Park and Salmon Creek Ravine
