    Description

    Clarke Beach Park is nestled beautifully along Lake Washington, with trails and beach access. Upland from the water is an old forest with large conifer trees, and plenty of bird activity. The understory of this park is filled with non-native plants like ivy and blackberry. These weeds are making it hard for conifer trees to naturally regenerate, and preventing other native plants from growing. At this clean-up event we’ll focus on removing these weeds to help create a healthier future for this lovely forest.

    All ages welcome, no experience required. Gloves, tools, and small snacks provided.

    Please note: we require participants aged 14 and under to volunteer with a parent or guardian at a ratio of 1 adult to 3 kids.

    • When: Saturday, May 16th, 10am-1pm
    • Where: Clarke Beach Park
    • What to bring: Dress for the weather in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty (think: long pants, boots or sneakers). Bring water. Small snacks, gloves, and tools will be provided.
