Seward Park Douglas Fir and Red Cedar Monitoring

About This Grant

Last summer, Friends of Seward Park, (FoSP), 5002 Lake Washington Blvd S, joined with CHOOSE 180 on a Small Sparks grant and surveyed the decline and mortality of 116 Western Hemlocks. We wish to continue ecological research, this year focusing on 100+ old-growth Douglas Firs, and a smaller number of dying Red Cedars. Once again we will have 3-5 interns from CHOOSE 180, working about 15 hours a week, in the forest, and on data mapping. FoSP will supervise the daily work at no cost; a UW intern (also at no cost) may assist. This project will be completed by November 30, 2022
