This Saturday (March 2, 2013) we are pretty excited to clear and cut some large areas of
blackberry canes in preparation for EarthCorps and student volunteers from Kennedy High School (Burien) to come back and
remove the roots (Thank You EarthCorps!). But don't worry, if
blackberries
aren't your thing, we've got lots of ivy to pull and maybe even a few
holly and laurel trees. Whether you're a fan of blackberries or not, here's an interesting link posted on KPLU's "I Wonder Why...?" series: Why did blackberry brambles become such a NW problem?
Saturday, March 2, 9am to noon
Meet at the kiosk in the NORTH parking lot (Fauntleroy Way SW and SW Rose St). If you miss us at 9am, check the kiosk map (in the North lot) to see where we are working. Rain and snow are not a problem, but we do cancel for high wind warnings.

them, but we have extras. Bring a water bottle.
