Richmond Beach Saltwater Park Habitat Restoration Project

Scot’s Broom (Scotch Broom) Removal 

and Native Plant Work Parties

2021 NW 190th Street, Shoreline WA

Saturday

February 11, 10am-2pm

Join the University of Washington Ecological Restoration Students and the City of Shoreline as we continue to restore Richmond Beach Saltwater Park. Service participants should expect to learn a brief history of restoration work completed at the park.

This service project includes the removal of Scot’s Broom, a non-native aggressive plant species that threatens the diversity of our urban forests. We will be cutting the plants at the base of the trunk and hauling the vegetation off site to a dumpster.

Volunteers may bring a snack to enjoy during a mid-day break. Come prepared for the forecasted weather. Participants should meet at the restroom located in the Park’s main parking lot. Contact Maureen Colaizzi, Parks Project Coordinator, at  206-801-2603 for more information.
