A Free Walking Tour of Fauntleroy Park
Sunday, April 26
1 pm
Meet at Barton St Entrance (SW Barton & SW Henderson (between 40 & 41st SW)
Guided by Steve Richmond of Garden Cycles
Come see birds and wildlife in Fauntleroy Park’s 28 acres – a hidden gem of
Seattle’s remnant urban forests. We’ll have a Native Plant Treasure Hunt and
discover diverse plants rarely found in other Seattle parks.
Walk a 1-mile loop (some steep areas) and enjoy the work of neighborhood volunteers,
EarthCorps, and Seattle Parks restoration contractors trying to battle invasive
species and restore native plant communities. With luck we may see pileated
woodpeckers, owls or salmon fingerlings local schoolchildren have released in an
effort to establish coho in Fauntleroy Creek. Afterward, let’s visit the nearby
bakery and discuss our ecological challenges. Dress for the weather!<<<<
