Sarah Witte adds native shrubs along old garage foundation.

The team will be on site in reduced numbers on May 12th. So if you can't make the May 26th date please drop in for a couple of hours on the 12th between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. If you have to pick between the two dates pick the 26th.

Creating a layered and richly diverse forest out of blackberries takes a lot of work. University students have designed this whole project beginning with a formal proposal to us, proposal modifications, a planting design with soil type and shade considerations, material acquisition and delivery, watering schedules, final stewardship maintenance recommendations and a final presentation.

Their success depends upon trust in one thing beyond their control: The Community. The students must trust that volunteers from the community will join them. Friends of NCF can only say, the response so far has literally brought tears to at least one student eyes. Thank you Bothell citizens for your unwavering support.
