Earth Day Celebration at Island Crest Park!

Join EarthCorps and the City of Mercer Island Parks and Recreation Dept. in restoring this local park! This forested ravine hosts lush native plant habitat, wetlands, and walking trails. However, Island Crest Park is threatened by the spread of invasive plants, which uncontrolled, cover and kill trees, carpet the forest floor, and prevent the sprouting of tree seedlings. Volunteers are needed to help control these invasive plants, and preserve this unique open space!  This project is part of a larger effort to restore Mercer Island Parks.
