Some tools will be available. If you have your own tools (gloves, loppers, shovels, weed wrench), please feel freeto bring them to ensure we have enough!
We will meet at the parking lot and cross Steilacoom Blvd together. I will have the CITO log to sign and Derek will have a Volunteer liability waiver for CPTC. Derek will welcome everyone and we'll all introduce ourselves. Derek mentioned to me that we may be preparing the ground and spreading native seeds in the Garry oak restoration area. Also invasive plant removal, specifically scotch broom and Himalayan blackberries. Thank you to anyone who can come out and help build community around this important ecosystem.
