The Duwamish Alive Earth Day Work Party was a great success! Thank you to all who participated! This GIS map illustrates the progress that we all made: Map of Restoration Site, April 2008



	Greetings to our dedicated volunteers. We have had some great work parties in the West Duwamish Greenbelt over the last few months and we have really made progress on removing truckloads of invasive species, especially English Ivy, Scotch Broom and the ever present Himalayan Blackberry. We are now moving into the planting season and will be planting a wide range of native understory and conifers. I’ve seen a real transformation in the greenbelt over the last year and a half and it is very rewarding to see all the work that has been accomplished. We will continue to work on the areas near the Highland Park Way entrance and at 14th Ave. SW & SW Holly Streets. I’ll see you out in the greenbelt!
