YOU CAN HELP: Lincoln Park student volunteer has questions for you

Maybe you can help a student who’s been spending time improving one of our area’s most-cherished parks. The request arrived via Lisa McGinty, forest steward with Friends of Lincoln Park:

We are once again hosting a couple of wonderful UW students who are working on their capstone internship at Lincoln Park. They’ve been hard at work, restoring a 2000-sq-ft natural area while also working on their research projects.

(Sylas, surveying)

One of the interns, Sylas Kasten, has created a survey as part of their research on using Geocaching as a tool for education and accessibility in natural areas, including our parks.

WSB readers have helped with FLiP interns’ surveys before, and, Lisa says, that’s really helped – so if you can spare a few minutes now, here’s a flyer about Sylas’s survey, which you can answer by going here.

P.S. Lisa says volunteer opportunities at the park have been limited for a while because their toolbox was stolen in November, but they’re expecting a replacement soon so will be opening signups for more restoration events – watch here, “or contact me directly with larger group requests: flip98136@gmail.com.”

    Hi.  I wanted to ask if there is a way for the public to donate tools or funds to help replace what was stolen.  Lincoln Park is a treasure.  Thanks

    I love a good student project with a survey, but I couldn’t access it via the URL nor the link in the article. Please have the student check the link because I am only taken to the flyer that has a code. I’m supposed to scan it. But I am not a “scanner”, thanks and good luck. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
