When you are supposed to be looking for weeds but just can’t help taking the long view! Our Healthy Lands Project team checking out a beautiful area in North Bend! Doing weed surveys for #twinpeaksday 🥧 🏔 Photo by Tom Erler #mountsi #northbend #northbendwa #healthylands

Gorse is flowering! Remember to stop and smell the flowers, just don’t get too close, those spines are seriously sharp! Gorse is like Scots broom with thorns and a much nicer flower fragrance (cocoa butter perhaps?). Gorse also has the bonus badness of having a volatile oil that makes this plant a serious fire hazard! It’s easy to spot now before Scots broom starts flowering. Send us locations in King County and we’ll make sure it’s taken care of. We want to make sure it doesn’t go to seed because the seeds are just as long lived as broom seeds!

We ❤️ families sharing time learning about native plants and noxious weeds! Enumclaw’s 8th Annual STEAM Expo brought hundreds of kids and parents together to learn about science, technology and art from all sorts of angles, including our very own noxious weeds booth hosted by Tricia MacLaren. Trish brought our interactive quiz, math exercises, coloring pages and the very popular 🍪 cookie method for calculating weed area! Thanks #Enumclaw for hosting this awesome event and to Tricia for the fabulous photos! #STEM #STEAM #scienceeducation #enumclawschooldistrict

Making room for native plants 🌱 and making the world 🌎 a little better one ivy pile at a time! There’s something so satisfying about pulling out English ivy to help a forest, and sharing that joy with the next generation is even better! This family volunteering moment on MLK Day with the Green Seattle Partnership brought to you by awesome dad and photo taker Ben Peterson. #familytime #mlkday #youngvolunteer #jacksonparkseattle #greenseattle #englishivy
