Island Crest Park Forest Restoration with EarthCorps

Join EarthCorps and the City of Mercer Island Parks and Recreation Dept. in restoring this local park! This forested ravine hosts lush native plant habitat, wetlands, and walking trails. However, Island Crest Park is threatened by the spread of invasive plants, which uncontrolled, cover and kill trees, carpet the forest floor, and prevent the sprouting of tree seedlings. Volunteers are needed to help control these invasive plants, and preserve this unique open space!  This project is part of a larger effort to restore Mercer Island Parks.   If you are under 18 years of age: go to miparks.net and click on volunteer opportunities. The Volunteer Activity-Youth Form needs to be signed by a parent, or call 206.275.7879 to receive the form via mail or e-mail. 

EarthCorps provides tools, gloves, water, light refreshments, and site specific education and leadership. Please join us ready to learn something new and ready to get dirty!
