Upcoming Events
Forest Steward Friday
We’ll drop back down into the Duwamish Head Greenspace this week with our forest steward Heather and help her plant natives that were delivered to the top area along Admiral. Fern, Snowberry, Osoberry and other varieties. Should be a fun one!
Spruced! / Lincoln Park Beach
We’ll head back down to Lincoln Park and work along the beach at the very south end entrance closest to the ferry dock. There are some blackberry brambles and other invasives taking over the shoreline that will be great to clear up and open room for native plants.
Spruced! / Spokane Street Park
We'll head back to the east side of S. Spokane St. to the little park that we started Sprucing last year and continue down the bike path on that side of Spokane. We’ll be working on removing blackberry along the bike path and clearing trash.

We'll head back to the general area we’ve been working the past several weeks, last week we kept clearing the little nook under the Admiral offramp from the bridge at 30th Ave SW and Spokane/Harbor Ave. and continue around the corner and keep pulling clematis and blackberry off the ramp wall.
