Richmond Beach Saltwater Park Habitat Restoration Work Parties
Dates: February 3, 10, 24 and March 3 - 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Richmond Beach Saltwater Park

Join the University of Washington Ecological Restoration students and your neighbors as we continue to restore Richmond Beach Saltwater Park.

Service participants will learn a brief history of restoration work completed at the park and innovative irrigation technique that can be used in home gardens.

This project will remove invasive species, stabilize steep slopes using bio-engineering and restore native plants that naturally occur on sandy near shore environments.

Volunteers may bring a snack to enjoy during a mid-day break. Come prepared for the forecasted weather and wear sturdy shoes as we will be working on a slope.

The City will provide water and all the tools necessary for the job.

Participants should meet at the restroom located in the Park’s lower parking lot. Contact Susana Villamarin, Parks Project Coordinator, 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.
