    Description

    Point Defiance Restoration Work Party and Native Plant Walk, September 13th, 9:30am-noon!

    Join us to take back the trailside from nonnative blackberries and set the native berries free. We'll work in this sunny stretch of trail to free up native salmonberry and huckleberry in this favorite birding spot and entrance trail to our beautiful forest. Then, we will add mulch to the restoration area in preparation for fall planting! Tools and gloves provided but please dress appropriately.

    This opportunity is best for ages 12+ because we will mostly be working with blackberries and those bite back!

    Questions, contact desiree.kennedy@tacomaparks.com
