On August 26, 2011, a group of enthusiastic Park Volunteers made a significant impact at Lyon Creek in Lake Forest Park by engaging in a gardening day focused on removing invasive weeds. Coordinated by the LFP Stewardship Foundation, these monthly work parties are instrumental in promoting environmental stewardship while fostering a sense of community among residents. Volunteers gathered proudly, showcasing their hard work and dedication to improving local parks. This initiative not only benefits the environment but also encourages community members to collaborate and connect with nature. The final work party of the season is scheduled for September 23, 2011, from 9 AM to noon, at multiple locations including Animal Acres and Horizon View.

Those interested in participating can contact Linda Holman, the program coordinator, for further details. This event exemplifies the importance of citizen involvement in local conservation efforts and highlights the ongoing commitment to maintaining the beauty of Lake Forest Park. Such initiatives are vital for preserving local ecosystems and enhancing community spirit.
