Fall is Squad’s favourite time to work in the beautiful Cheasty Greenspace! The fall colour is enveloping beneath the tall big leaf maple canopy right in the heart of Seattle. The entire development of this park was spearheaded by dedicated neighborhood volunteers wanting to make a difference. A long trail network now laces the hillside forest which is much-more cleared from smothering noxious vines today than ten years ago! Even still, more weedy vines remain and there are on-going gifts from the birds who excrete ivy berries and blackberries laden with seeds. Squad pulled ivy, dug blackberry and tackled weedy clematis to protect the growth of native species.
November 2021 marks the Homeschool Stewardship Squad’s ten year anniversary! A huge thank you to all the amazing families that have come out to fight for, protect and nourish our natural areas over the years - YOU MAKE SQUAD GREAT! See you outside soon.
