Ivy pulling extravaganza!

The Friends in cooperation with the City of Federal Way, Washington State Parks, Rainier Audubon Society, and EarthCorps will be launching a city wide Earth Day event to rid the city's urban forests of English Ivy. English Ivy is a non-native invasive plant that kills native plant species, endangering forest health as well as wildlife habitat.

 

Plans for a celebration afterwords is in the works!!

 

Come join us at one of these three parks to pull English Ivy and restore native habitat and our urban forests' health:

Dumas Bay Park

Poverty Bay Park

Dash Point State Park

We will provide tools and gloves. Please dress appropriately for working outside and getting muddy.
