Work Parties
Prairie Work Parties: Second Saturdays and Tuesdays
Join us for regular volunteer work parties on the South Puget Sound prairies.
- Second Saturdays
Prairie enthusiasts work together to remove invasive Scotch broom, plant native flowers and otherwise restore this lovely landscape. Work parties begin at 10 a.m on the second Saturday of each month. Occasionally followed by a Friends of Puget Prairies meeting and potluck.
- Tuesday Work Group
Every Tuesday, a group of volunteers meets on the South Sound for seed collection, Scotch broom removal, conifer removal, native plant propagation, and other tasks. Some indoor work is available during the winter for those who choose to stay out of the elements. This group does the most varied and involved work of any of the work parties, and they always welcome new people. Bring weather-appropriate clothing, work gloves and a lunch.
