Sapp Road Park restoration efforts are well underway! So far, we have been focusing on removing W**d barrier, aerating soils, trimming tree limbs, removing invasives and assessing overall future efforts to continue our work to improve the health of this amazing park. A BIG thank you! to those of you who have volunteered to get us this far.
Restoration projects like this leave all of us with a sense of accomplishment, wonder, and hope for the future of our communities. Sapp Road Park is significant in many ways, and we invite you to become a part of this legacy work and the long list of volunteers that have called this project their own! As a sneak peek, future work includes extensive planting both in the wetland as well as its buffers, ongoing research with the City of Tumwater, WDFW, and others focusing on beaver habitat, and aquatic and amphibian species, and implementing new methods for restoration where monitoring and data collection can be implemented to measure our successes. This site has become and will continue to be a learning laboratory for ecological functions and habitat management.
In the meantime, there is still much to do before we implement aspects of the restoration plan. We are remaining diligent with on-site preparations, Join for the full 4 hours or just a couple, it's up to you. We're just so grateful for the help and time to building a more resilient community.
