Help restore native plants at Saltwater Park Saturday, March 17

Scot's Broom

Richmond Beach Saltwater Park Habitat Restoration Project

Scot’s Broom Removal and Native Plant Work Party

2021 NW 190th Street, Shoreline WA

Saturday, March 17, 10 am -2pm

Join the University of Washington Ecological Restoration Students and the City of Shoreline as they continue to restore Richmond Beach Saltwater Park. Service participants will learn a brief history of restoration work completed at the park.

This service project includes the removal of Scot’s Broom, a non-native aggressive plant species that threatens the diversity of our urban forests. Plants will be cut at the base of the trunk, then the vegetation will be hauled off site to a dumpster. 

Volunteers may bring a snack to enjoy during a mid-day break. Come prepared for the forecasted weather. Participants should meet at the restroom located in the Park’s main parking lot. Contact **Maureen Colaizzi, Parks Project Coordinator, at 206-801-2603 for more information. 

** Participants under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Participants 14-18 must have a permission form signed by a parent or guardian.
