January 20, 2001 Continuation of the Ivy Removal Project near Waterfall
We continued our work focusing on the Westside
of the waterfall. On the left is the "before picture"
showing the ivy covered area before 9am. By about 11:30 am we had hauled away
several tarp loads of clematis
and ivy and had covered
the slope with jute to protect the soil. We will be planting
Northwest native plants such as Snowberry and Ferns so it will resemble
the Eastern slope - as result of our Dec work party and
additional planting work done by Garfield High School
students. Join us at our next work party on Feb. 17th from
9:00 - 12pm at the waterfall (which is on Lake Washington Blvd. a
little over half way into the park.).
