On Saturday, August 25, 2018 from 10:00am to 1:00pm volunteers are needed to continue an environmental restoration project in Twin Ponds Park begun a year ago.

New plantings need protecting from some weeds that have returned to the work area. They need water as well. Last year volunteers removed masses of blackberry vines and other weeds from a badly degraded site and added native trees and shrubs.

This project is sponsored by the Washington Native Plant Society and the Shoreline Department of Parks and is led by Master Stewards trained in environmental restoration.

Saturday, August, 25th, 10:00 to 1:00

• Location: The southern end of Twin Ponds Park by the parking lot along First Ave NE one block north of N 149th St. 
• Bring tools and gloves. Water and light snacks will be provided or bring your own.
• Credit is available for required student volunteer hours.

RSVP or information at: RestoreTwinPondsSouth@outlook.com

They meet most fourth Saturdays, but adjust the date near holidays.
