October 25, Saturday - Soos Creek Park Fall Restoration

Please join the South King County Group and the Friends of Soos Creek, in coordination with the King County Parks Department, for our Eleventh Semiannual Restoration Event at Soos Creek Park. The park is a beautiful ribbon of greenery running through Renton, Kent, and Covington that provides exceptional wildlife habitat in an otherwise urban setting. Drinks and snacks provided - bring your own lunch. The work will consist primarily of removal of English ivy. You’ll need work clothes, gloves, and boots, and be sure to dress for the weather. Some tools will be provided, but bring pruners if you have them. Activity will be between 9 AM and 2 PM - you can work as little or as much as you like during that time frame. We will meet at the parking lot adjacent to the King County Parks South Maintenance Compound (24810 - 148th Ave. SE, Kent). For information, contact Mark Johnston at (253) 639-3862.
