Had very busy July with hiking trips and other things , couple times had to cancel the volunteer event. Finally weekend with back to back work.
Saturday was nice with removing blackberries working with very grounded teenagers, really kudos to their parents and friend circle and many other people in their lives. Nice new park, But I guess many different places are always new locations.

Sunday was really great with restoring trail section, basically to deter people from entering there. One of the best tool was log-hauler, I wish they could have something like that for moving big rocks. Moving many logs, making pegs with hand saw, hauling plenty duff and covering up as if  some storm came in here.  Besides building of new trail. Very nice groups working together and nice set of individuals.

Beautiful day for trail work. Number of amazing people, pros who have worked since long, new bees and some with little bit of experience.

Laughing, sharing stories , workloads and having fun at the same time. Hauling buckets of soil, rocks, digging ditches for the base foundation logs to be laid out, hammering rebars in the logs, making things look natural.
Overall productive day with fun filled enthusiastic group.

After all nursery events, beautiful day finally out in the field. Removing blackberries, it felt kind of too early for the same but soggy soil is perfect for getting it out of the ground easily. Kudos to all volunteers for enjoying the rain and getting the work done.

MLk Weekend




Beautiful PNW cold mornings and perfect for breaking some sweat. Nice days of  hauling mulch and planting. Volunteer turnout was amazing. Great work done by awesome people.

Winter preparation

New year new start, welcome 2017 !!

This is kind of rough season there can be snow, frost, freezing temperatures. Still it was a beautiful day to break a sweat. The mulch pile was high up solid frozen at the top with sheet of ice on it. Breaking into it was real work.
We had to prepare the plants for actual planting season. 
Even in these freezing temperatures number of volunteers lined up for filling buckets, transferring mulch. Some were busy transferring plants, preparing beds.
Initially everyone was cold and by the time we started actual physical work it was time to take off some layers. Over all productive morning.
