Join staff and stewards as we will be starting our efforts in removing invasive plant species, including Scotch broom and Himalayan blackberry at this newly acquired parcel. They will go to seed soon, with Scotch broom seeds able to stay dormant in the soil for up to 50 years. The parcel is located at 2803 18th Ave NE. Street parking available. Meet just inside the parcel.
Due to Covid-19, the following safety protocols are now in place:
- You must wear a face mask. The mask must cover both the nose and mouth. We can supply you with one if you do not have one.
- Tools will not be shared. Tools will be sanitized before and after each work party.
- Hand sanitizer will be provided as well as a handwashing station and paper towels at parks without restrooms.
- We will continue to supply you with gloves but you are welcome to bring your own from home. The used ones will be placed in plastic bags and washed after each work party.
- To reduce high touch surfaces (areas frequently touched by multiple people), the first aid kit, iPad, sign-in sheets, pens, etc. will be kept in the truck. If you need any item you do not see available, please let us know and we will retrieve it. Please do not get in the cab of the truck as we keep each vehicle to a single user if possible.
- Please bring a reusable water bottle and snacks. We will bring disposable water bottles and granola bars to those who need them. At this time, coffee and lemonade will not be available.
For all work parties, please dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes or boots that can get wet and muddy. Volunteers are encouraged to bring a reusable water bottle. An adult must accompany youth under the age of 14 and any youth under 18 years of age without an adult present must have an online waiver signed electronically by a parent/guardian, located on the right side of this page.
Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to park and sign in.
