This year, SCA had two community conservation crews working in Seattle parks, one at Thornton Creek in North Seattle and the other at Lakeridge (or Deadhorse Canyon) Park in South Seattle. Over the course of five weeks, these 12-member crews greatly improved the appearance and accessibility of these parks by performing invasive species removal, restoring trails, and laying down jute fabric to prevent erosion. In return for their work, each crew member received a stipend and had the opportunity to learn about local environmental issues. Learn more about the crews. [1]
