Thanks to Jenny Simonds for sending us photos from Saturday’s monthly Friends of Lincoln Park work party. Second photo above shows Sharon Baker, the volunteer forest steward who always sends us advance word of these events – we include them in the WSB Events calendar, as well as in the West Seattle Weekend Lineup – every weekend there are anywhere from two to five opportunities around West Seattle for you to help protect and restore our beautiful greenspaces. If you’ve ever walked in Lincoln Park, you know how many invasive plants are in need of clearing; on Saturday, Jenny says, “We were pulling English ivy & holly from just south of the North ballparks.” Also at work in Lincoln Park this time around, Margey Thoresen:

Jenny tells us there also were dozens of Friends of the Earth volunteers working elsewhere in the park. If you’d like to join in the next Friends of Lincoln Park work party, click here for Sharon Baker’s e-mail address. Besides watching the aforementioned WSB pages, you can also track upcoming work parties in parks/greenspaces around West Seattle and elsewhere at greenseattle.org.
