Volunteer effort at Ames Creek planted roughly 2,500 plants, committee hears
Summary
Committee members heard that volunteers and students planted an estimated 1,600 plants on Thursday and finished the rest Friday for roughly 2,500 plants overall at Ames Creek, with strong participation from local groups and students.
Committee members were told volunteers, local groups and a high-school class combined for a large early-February planting at Ames Creek.
"I think we planted 1,600 plants Thursday, and they came back Friday and did the rest. I think there was 2,500 overall," a meeting participant said, thanking volunteers and noting students assisted through the Watershed Council.
Staff and committee members said the event ran successfully despite some regular volunteers being absent due to illness, and that photo documentation was provided to the committee. The effort was marked as a positive example of community engagement in habitat restoration and park upkeep.
