Grace Cole work party October 22

Now that the rains have come, volunteers can begin planting native plants in the areas of the park from which ivy was removed from the ground. Fall planting will help the new plants get a good start.

The Lake Forest Park Stewardship Foundation will host a work party at Grace Cole Nature Park on Saturday, October 22, from 9 am to noon for planting ferns, salal, Oregon grape and trees in areas from which we worked very hard to remove the ivy last spring. We welcome students. This is three hours of service for them.

Tools, gloves and refreshments will be provided. Please dress for the weather. Bring your favorite tools if you like. We recommend you bring your own water bottle. Beverages will be available. The work party will take place rain or shine, with the possible exception of a deluge or high winds.

The park is on 30th Ave NE and NE 165th. It's accessible from NE 178th St. by turning South at 28th Ave NE and traveling about 1/2 mile. Look for the board walk, and park sign.
