Twin Ponds Park, Saturday, October 27, 10am to 1pm

If you have noticed the changes to some Shoreline Parks resulting from Environmental Restoration, you might like to join your neighbors at the southern end of Twin Ponds Park to help prepare for planting next month. 

Last year we hauled out dumpster loads of invasive weeds that block out native plants but couldn’t get every bit of weed removed. So your help is needed to go after the remaining weeds that threaten the plants we put in last year and to make way for some new native plants.

Clear out the brambles and
see the stream

Students needing service hours are welcome.

Our work site is located next to a small, busy parking lot on First Ave NE one block north of NE 149th St. where NE 150th St would be if it existed. It is across from Aegis Assisted Living and near the community garden. Street parking can be found on NE 149th St. Avoid the lot on NE 155th St. which can be confused with the correct lot.

Please dress for a rainy or chilly day as we work in all weather.

We supply gloves and tools plus a large container of water and snack bars. Please feel free to bring your own items, especially a reusable water bottle.
