On Saturday, February 3rd from 9am until noon, there will be a 5 Acre Woods Restoration Volunteer Work Party and Community Celebration.
At 11am, a photo will be taken of gardeners and supporters to send off to Olympia.
So let’s fill up this hill with LFP residents that day whether you are coming for the work party or the celebration only.
Our state legislators, such as Senator David Frockt, recently told Lake Forest Park residents how really impressive it is to see the community working together like this.
LFP residents have made substantial financial contributions to help the City purchase 5 Acre Woods.
Senator Frockt and other legislators are supporting a $250,000 grant at state level to help the City’s purchase and restoration efforts.
5 Acre Woods is located on 40th Place NE (at 45th Pl NE).
Let’s work together to help get that funding into our own community. Let's get enough people Saturday so we can create a photo showing all the community that comes together at 5 Acre Woods.
Refreshments and snacks will be served.

To join the gathering, meet in the LFP Elementary School parking lot at 10:30am. (18500 37th Ave NE, LFP.) Departure will be from the LFP Elementary School parking lot, where you can park your car.

Caution about stepping into this special place – you may not want to leave! Previously untouched for over 40 years when owned by Seattle City Light, it is now to become a LFP City forest preserve and nature-oriented educational playground.
5AW - A Magical Place

Calling all you citizens
Calling all you friends
Let's all see what we can do
Before the MAGIC ends
From the folks up in the Heights
To the Beach below
And don't forget Horizon View
And everyone you know
5 Acre Woods-a special prize
A Treasure without alloy
Let's all dig deep and do our part
To embrace its special Joy
