We are honored to team up with Bartlett Tree Experts in Kenmore to participate in their generous Bartlett's Trees For Tomorrow program. Through this program, Bartlett is donating almost 100 native trees and shrubs for this year's restoration site, and they will be at our March 12 work party to help plant them! We hope you can join us for this all ages work party that will include a full lunch. Thank you Bartlett Tree Experts for your commitment to increasing tree planting and stewardship in our community - we are excited to work with you!

New Restoration Project Takes Shape

2/10/2016

0 Comments

 
Thanks to large groups of volunteers who came out on two recent Saturdays to help clean up and restore North Creek Forest, our newest restoration site is starting to take shape. Volunteers started by spreading mulch on muddy paths to allow easy and safe access to this year’s restoration site. 

  Once completed, they grabbed shovels and started to dig up Himalayan blackberry patches, as well as hand pulling English ivy vines. The blackberries were easily dug up because the roots smoothly slid out of the mud without much effort. A group of enthusiastic volunteers from UW-Bothell protected mature trees from encroaching ivy by cutting the vines off at chest height, and then clearing the remaining vines 3 feet away from the base of the trees.

A car tire, carpet scraps, and miniature billiard balls were the highlights of the trash that volunteers took out of the forest.
