Volunteer Invasive Removal

Mercer Island is graced with 35 parks, over 400 acres of natural areas, and more than 50 miles of trails. Volunteers have been improving these parks for many years, planting native trees and shrubs and removing invasive plants but much more work remains to be done. Luther Burbank Park is important to the greater Greenway landscape as a rest stop for many species of migratory birds. The wetland in the lower park is well used by these fowl but the Upper Park isn't living up to its potential. Strangled by invasive weeds, the native trees and shrubs are struggling to survive. We will be removing various invasive species such as blackberry, ivy, holly, and more. It'll make a big difference to this future healthy forest!
