Grace Cole work party Saturday May 19

Entrance to Grace Cole Nature Park

Volunteers will meet at Grace Cole Nature Park on Saturday, May 19, 2018 for a work party in the park. They will meet at 9am and work until noon.

Organizer Mamie Bolander reports that she "spent quite a bit of time digging out dandelions the last couple of days, but there are still some there. 

"Some unknown good Samaritan had pulled the heads off of many before the seeds set on, a gesture which is much appreciated!"

Volunteers may spend time digging dandelions or working to remove other invasive species. There are chips to haul and opportunities to shovel dirt.

"It is gratifying to hear visitors' comments that they "love the park" and that it's "looking better all the time"!"

There will be some tools on hand if you don't bring your own. Loppers, clippers and shovels for digging are particularly helpful.

Bring water and dress for the weather. Snacks will be on hand to keep our blood sugar up!

If this is your first visit, the park can be found by turning south onto 28th Ave NE from NE 178th Street in Lake Forest Park, and driving about 3/4 mile until you see Grace Cole Nature Park on your right, (just before a left-hand curve which would take you up the hill).

Information? call Mamie at 206-364-4410.
