Planting Party at MacKinnon Creek Trail Saturday

Planting Party at MacKinnon Creek Trail Saturday, September 20th, 9am-12 noon   

The Lake Forest Park Stewardship Foundation says that the next work party dedicated to Natural Areas in the City (usually held at Grace Cole Nature Park) will instead be held at the new MacKinnon Creek Trail this Saturday, September 20th, from 9 to 12 noon.

We'll be installing jute cloth to stabilize the stream bank, and planting native plants where the WA Conservation Crew removed invasive species in July. We'll possibly do some mulching with chips. (There are still some invasive blackberries and ivy to be dealt with if that's your real passion.)

Beverages and snacks will be provided.

Access to this trail is from NE 184th Street. To reach the site, travel north on Ballinger Way from Town Center, turn right onto NE 184th Street (where Ballinger Way curves left and 40th Place goes straight north), then turn right again at the first opportunity. You'll cross the creek and see an iron gate to your left.

There are parking spaces for 2 or 3 cars by the iron gate, and two more cars can park along 182nd Street. Take care not to block anyone's driveway.
