SW Queen Anne Greenbelt Homeschool Stewardship Squad

SW Queen Anne Greenbelt Planting & Weeding.

April 25, 2017
stewardship squad queen anne

Squad weeded stickyweed and bindweed out from around native plantings in the SW Queen Anne Greenbelt at a fun work party led by a couple of favourite stewards from the Green Seattle Partnership's Forest Steward program.

Much play ensued beyond the work as the trees were fun for climbing and large sticks abounded, as did the bugs. The nettles were lush and Squad sustained its worst injury to date- 20+ stings on one little leg. Fortunately the whole group rushed to her aid with botanical remedies, comfort and cream. You can read more and see our work parties via the SW QA Greenbelt tag here.
