Ecological Restoration Workparty at the Evergreen State College

English ivy is an invasive species that kills forest ecosystems, replacing them with ivy monocultures. All through the Northwest ivy threatens the health of forests, as well as the wildlife that dwells in them. Be a part of a growing, region-wide effort to combat the spread of ivy and join us for an afternoon of ecological restoration work on Wednesday, February 10th from 1-5pm at the Red Square bus loop at Evergreen.

We'll be manually removing ivy and replanting with native tree, shrub, and fern species. Bring clothes you don't mind getting dirty, and dress for the weather. We'll provide tools, gloves, snacks, water, and plenty of ivy to pull!

To get to restoration site you can take the 41 or 48 bus to the Evergreen Red Square stop and we'll be right there! You can also bike (good way to get warmed up for some ivy-pulling) or drive. Parking is $2 at Evergreen, so carpooling is a good idea!
