Neighborhood volunteers were busy in December planting nearly 2000 seedlings of Oregon ash, maple, Western red cedar, and hemlock in Juanita Woodlands – replacing diseased Doug firs and providing species diversity to our local forest. We still have several hundred more seedlings to plant this winter and we’ve scheduled a final volunteer event for this coming Saturday, January 16, from 9am to 1pm.

Please come out and help us reforest the Woodlands. This is a great way to get outside, to do something tangible to help the neighborhood, and it’s a terrific family event. Dress warmly, wear sturdy shoes; we’ll have tools and even coffee and hot chocolate waiting for you. You can park on Holmes Point Drive, below the Fire Station. We’ll meet inside the Woodlands, in the Western section; follow the path from the Juanita Woodlands sign on Holmes Point Drive, about 50 yards south of the Fire Station.
