Pritchard Island Beach was the perfect Stewardship Squad location on a hot summer day! The restoration area right on Lake Washington is nicely established and shade-giving. We focused on pulling bindweed out of the native plants, which can take quite a hit from the tenacious vines that can pull young shrubs and even trees right down to the ground, smothering them.
The Green Seattle Partnership furthers ongoing restoration by supporting dedicated local forest stewards, Kathy and Catherine who with the help of Phillip and others have lovingly tended the park for years. They are excellent hosts! Our swim play even had a visit from a Seattle Times photographer and some of the kids made the paper (screen shot of the pic below)!
