Grace Cole Nature Park Restoration Volunteers Saturday, June 21, 2025

On June 21, 2025, from 9 a. m. to noon, volunteers will convene at Grace Cole Nature Park in Lake Forest Park, WA, to assist in park restoration efforts. This recurring event takes place on the third Saturday of each month, highlighting community involvement in maintaining local natural spaces. Volunteers will focus on critical tasks such as removing invasive plants like ivy and blackberry, caring for existing trails, and planting native species, including flowering plums and swamp lanterns.

The initiative not only supports ecological health but also fosters community spirit through outdoor work. Participants are advised to dress for the weather and are welcome to bring their own tools and gloves or utilize those provided by the park. Local wildlife, including beavers, may also be spotted during the event, enhancing the outdoor experience. Interested individuals can reach out to volunteer coordinator Jim Mead at his provided email for further details. Such community-driven events play a vital role in preserving local ecosystems and promoting environmental stewardship.
