Squad worked with the Green Seattle Partnership in maintaing a wetland & buffer area at historic Magnuson Park. Our Forest Steward, Thomas, shared with us that his neighborhood stewardship group has been tending the park for 18ys. That was back when the City got serious about redeveloping the former naval base, their group advocated for environmental interests and backed up their opinions with time and labor. We now can all benefit from a wide trail network and revitalized native habitats, amid the military relics.
We have removed blackberry countless times, but this was our first pulling out noxious reed canary grass / Phalaris arundinacea from a wetland. We also enjoyed a large paper-wasp nest and of course swimming in the lake!
