Westcrest Park - Forest Restoration Work Party

Get Connected Icon Happens On Oct 7, 2017
Get Connected Icon 10am - 2pm
Expired

Description

Join DIRT Corps in revitalizing the southwest portion of Westcrest Park. The first step to bringing back this parcel is to remove invasive species. Once we have cleared the land, we will plant at later volunteer events this year on 11/4.

The beginning of this volunteer event will include a brief weed ID education class. Learn about the different types of invasives, why they are harmful, and how to get rid of them. Combine knowledge with action as we work together to clear this beautiful space of harmful species that overtakes an area. Many of you might already have this experience in your own backyard!

There will be more events to come where we gradually transform and maintain Westcrest and make it a great public space for everyone to enjoy. Let us know of any questions, hope to see you out there!

PARK: South parking lot off of SW Henderson St, next to the dog park.

WORK AREA: We are working at the southern strip of the park
