The Sierra Club, Friends of Soos Creek Park, Rainier Audubon Society, and King County Parks will be hosting a large habitat restoration event at Soos Creek Park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Nov. 2.

Those who wish to participate should meet at Gary Grant Park on the north side of 208th Street and just east of 132nd Street. The work site is just a few hundred yards along the trail south of the 208th Street parking lot.

We will be enhancing an area around 2 ponds and adjacent to the creek.

The area has been significantly infested for years with invasive non-native plants such as blackberries, scotch broom, and reed canary grass. Volunteers will be planting about 500 native upland plants in a section that has recently been cleared of blackberries.

Tools, drinks, and snacks will be provided. Please bring your own work gloves and dress for the work and weather as this is a rain-or-shine event.
