Mike says: “Come be a part of our goal of restoring part of Seattle’s 2500 acres of forested park land. Most of the trees in Seattle are near the end of their natural lifespan and invasive plants have choked out the seedlings that would replace the native trees. Come help us remove invasive plants and then put down a layer of mulch to prepare for planting the next generation of native trees and plants this fall. The Delridge Natural Area is a beautiful site with the Longfellow Creek meandering through it. Two beaver ponds have developed as well, creating habitat for many
different kinds of wildlife. Be sure to wear long pants, a long sleeve shirt and boots and if you have work gloves bring them as well – I have a supply of gloves as well. Also, bring water and a snack. If you have any questions, please contact me.”
