Saint Edward State Park Restoration Work Party: September Invasive Removal

On September 8th from 10am-1pm, join us for a day filled with fun at Saint  Edward State Park! Saint Edward is full of flora, fauna, and history. Over the years, visitation  has increased greatly, and the park needs volunteer help now more than ever. In urban  parks, invasive plants can take over the native landscape if not kept in check. English Ivy  has become prolific at Saint Edward, and we need your help to remove it! This event, we  will be walking twenty minutes down the Seminary trail to the lake and working on removing  Ivy plants. While this is one of the less steep hikes in the park, there is still four hundred  feet of elevation change, so please be prepared to hike.  

Our event is best suited for ages 8 and older, and no experience is required. The work party  will take place in the rain or shine. This event is brought to you by Friends of Saint Edward  State Park, University of Washington Collaborative for Socio-Ecological Engagement, and  Washington State Parks.  

Where to Meet:  

We will meet at the playground; volunteer parking will be on the south lawn, just past the  playground (please see attached map). Take NE 145th towards the park and turn left after  the ball field. Follow signs down the road towards the playground.
