"The Best Event I Have Ever Attended"

At the end of the day the most often spoken words were, "Thank You".

The UWREN Team and FNCF are grateful for the huge turnout. But the words "Thank you," were coming from the volunteers faster than we could offer them to the volunteers.

"This was the best event I ever attended." Sarah Witte could not stop grinning. She may be our Volunteer Coordinator but with 12 years of volunteer work on all kinds of restoration sites she can make informed comparisons.

We packed this 40 cubic yard dumpster full in 4 hours.

Again: Thank you Waste Management Inc. for your generous donation. ..

... and the Rose Foundation for the grant that enables much of our stewardship effort.

Some students from UW Seattle arrived in 3 Yellow Cabs. That was a first. When they start showing up in limos we will publish our hamburger recipe :)

Rick and Ruth OBrien are from the Summit neighborhood and are becoming regulars at our forest events. Besides spontaneously running to the store when food got low they are enthusiastic about everything students are doing. Thank you Rick and Ruth.

In the end it is about creating the richest natural wildlife habitat possible.

It was an amazing event. Everyone who attended should hold their head high and be proud of the massive transformation that occured in only one day. I have never seen such an effort to move a project like this forward as I Have that day. You all amazed me.
