Stewardship Event: Ivy removal

Sat., Dec. 9, 9:30 a.m.—Noon. Join your neighbors and make new friends while helping improve your local park and fish and wildlife habitat! We are removing English Ivy from where it has invaded Walker Preserve. Ivy kills native trees and other plants by taking up all the water from the soil. It also prevents young trees from getting established. If left unchecked, ivy will destroy the urban forest along Walker Creek. Volunteers of all ages are welcome; children need to be accompanied by a parent or an adult. We provide tools, gloves, and snacks! Please RSVP! It helps us plan enough tools and refreshments. Contact Matt Goehring, Miller/Walker Creek Basin Steward at mgoehring@kingcounty.gov or 206.263.6826 to RSVP or for more info.
