Cheers for Volunteers: Juanita Woodlands Work Party on Saturday

The Finn Hill Neighborhood Alliance’s Log Blog is reminding folks that volunteers are needed this Saturday, March 30, for a work party in the group’s on-going effort to restore the 40-acre Juanita Woodlands.

Volunteers have in the last three years planted 4,500 native trees in the woodlands, which stretch from the east side of Juanita Drive on Finn Hill across that street and Holmes Point Drive.

In January of 2012 some 745 young Oregon ash, paper birch, shore pine and red cedar were planted, and now they are getting crowded out by invasive species such as Himalayan blackberry and ivy. The work party will remove the invasive plants and re-tag the trees.

Coffee, hot chocolate and pastries will be served. The work party begins at 9 a.m., meeting on NE 120th Street just off Juanita Drive (see map).

To sign up, please call Teresa at 425-501-4693 or email TChilelli@aol.com.
