For the Reporter
The Sierra Club South King County Group and Rainier Audubon Society – in coordination with King County Parks – host a habitat restoration event Dec. 6 at Soos Creek Park.
The event is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Volunteers are asked to meet at Gary Grant Park in Kent on the north side of 208th Street, just east of 132nd Street. To reach the work site, volunteers can walk a few hundred yards on the trail south of the 208th Street parking lot.
The focus of the event is to do some basic weeding and mulching around native plantings. Crews will be working to remove invasive non-native plants such as blackberries and scotch broom. Over the last several years, volunteers have cleared all that and replanted with native species.
Tools, drinks and snacks will be provided, but volunteers can bring their own work gloves – some will on hand – and dress for the work and weather as this is a rain-or-shine event.
