Prairie Restoration Project Seeks Learning Volunteers Is golf your game? Even if it's not, YOUR participation in this golf course prairie habitat restoration project is invited! WHAT: Prairie Planting, Weed ID & Pull WHEN: Saturday, September 25, 2010 - 9:00 am - 12:00 pm WHERE: Meadow Park Golf Course (meet at Clubhouse Grill for snacks, coffee and juice, on us!) 7108 Lakewood Dr W, Tacoma, WA WHY: Demonstrate resource savings while creating beautiful & beneficial habitat HOW: Tools, gloves, refreshments, fun and educational resources to be provided! Join native plant stewards for a look at how we are tackling a weedy site while introducing rare and otherwise floriferous species. We plan to keep not only golfers at play but birders and other nature buffs involved in the understanding and re-creation of the prairie habitat that once dominated the Puget Sound Basin. Volunteers will learn about common weeds and how to identify them when they are germinating. There will be two full-color weed ID guides for you to take home. Along with other soil and rain garden displays being installed at this site, you'll also get to see the prairie species that are sprouting in our "Mima Mound" display. Stewards are also planning a future interpretive trail for birders, students and urban naturalists. Your input will help to make the project better.
