Adriana Hess Work Party

Scheduled for August 11, 2025, at 9 a. m. , the Adriana Hess Work Party will focus on invasive species management in University Place. Participants will target species like Rubus armeniacus and Hedera helix, which threaten local ecosystems. Organized by the Pierce Conservation District, the event aims to improve water quality and support pollinators.

Community involvement is crucial for fostering environmental stewardship and education around these issues. The Klostermann Block, the designated site, has been identified as a critical area for ecological restoration. This effort aligns with broader initiatives to combat invasive species across the region. Local residents and volunteers will have the opportunity to engage directly with conservation efforts. Events like this are essential for raising awareness about the importance of maintaining biodiversity in urban settings.
