Washington Native Plant Society

Native Plant Steward Program - Forest Park Team

As students of the Native Plant Stewardship class, four of us formed a team to work on a restoration project at Forest Park.  We have a 1-acre plot around the east entrance of the park. 

As part of our project, we plan to:

• Create a restoration plan.
• Inventory trees and site conditions
• Remove invasive species and site hazards.
• Create a planting list
• Hold work parties to plant native plants.
  
• Plan for future site maintenance.

We are interested in working with members of the community and invite those interested to volunteer.  

Update: December

After 2 successful work parties we have almost all of the plants in the ground. This spring we will monitor for their survival and re-evaluate the site.

 Occasional maintenance  to  remove any invasive species that come back in will be ongoing.
