Many a homeschooler are lovers of literature. So, you can imagine the delight at having an opportunity to fall down actual rabbit holes at Discovery Park.
And frankly, who doesn't love a good hole in the ground? Filling them in was a first for Squad and quite popular, as was watering. Matt, our forest steward from the Green Seattle Partnership hauled his own personal hoses in a backpack so we could hook up >50' away to water the native plantings. Other work included digging out blackberry and mulching. There is much to see in this 500+ acre historic park, we are looking forward to coming back.
UPDATE: Matt discussed the holes further with Park staff who think they may evidence of mountain beaver activity rather than rabbits. Perhaps this is the beginning of a new piece of literature....

Lovely Puget Sound. Not so lovely Himalayan blackberry / Rubus armeniacus.
