35 Things to do in the Park - #34 Habitat Restoration

FLSSP is planning to bring volunteers back to the park in small groups this March. There will be opportunities to assist with habitat restoration and landscaping.

FLSSP, in cooperation with State Parks and the Washington State Parks Foundation, has spearheaded efforts to landscape and improve the beds around the playground. Over the past several months, park staff has removed blackberry, volunteer trees and other invasive species from the beds around the play area.

If you are interested in helping out with invasive species removal, gardening or landscaping, email director@flssp.org and we will contact you when work parties return.
