Community Science, iNaturalistMay 12, 9am-12pm @ Tukwila Community Center Contribute to Science by photographing plants, trees, and wildlife through the iNaturalist App. Every observation, from the rarest butterfly to the most common backyard weed, can contribute to biodiversity science. iNaturalist shares your findings with scientific data repositories like the Global Biodiversity Information Facility to help scientists find and use your data. All you have to do is observe. After we create accounts and learn about how to make observations, we can head out to Crystal Springs Park for a nature walk and make observations for practice. more |

Restoration at RivertonMay 13, 11:30am-1:30pm @ Riverton Park Riverton Park is a beautiful community park with picnic tables, a playground, Gully Gardens P-Patch, walking loop with a natural border that offers something for everyone. The natural plant board of the park has largely established, mature trees that support wildlife, reduce pollutants in the air and help to bring shade on hot days. Unfortunately, these trees are in danger due to English Ivy that grows aggressively and chokes out native plants and trees. The good news is YOU ARE HERE to help, as a community we can save these trees and install a healthy native forest plus, it is a ton of fun! All tools, materials and training will be provided at the start of the work party. Restrooms are onsite May-October otherwise, you may use the restroom at the Tukwila Community Center quick drive down the street. more |
