There will be a "Tour de Fronds" free walking tour of Fauntleroy Park, Sunday, April 26 at 1 p.m.

The meeting place is at Barton Street entrance (Southwest Barton and Southwest Henderson, between 40 and 41st Southwest)

The tour will be guided by Steve Richmond of Garden Cycles.
 
Come see native flora and fauna in Fauntleroy Park’s 28 acres – a hidden gem of Seattle’s remnant urban forests.   There will be a native plant treasure hunt and other diverse plants rarely found in other Seattle parks.
 
Walk a 1-mile loop (some steep areas) and enjoy the work of neighborhood volunteers, EarthCorps, and Seattle Parks restoration contractors trying to battle invasive species and restore native plant communities.

"With luck we may see pileated woodpeckers, owls or salmon fingerlings local schoolchildren have released in an effort to establish coho in Fauntleroy Creek.  Afterward, let's visit the nearby bakery and discuss our ecological challenges.  Dress for the weather!" say the organizers.
