Conservation Work Party

Where: 8 Acre Woods

When: Saturday, July 11 (2nd Saturday), 10:00a-12:00p

What: Join us for the first-ever volunteer work parties at 8 Acre Woods. Throughout the summer, we will work with the Rolling Bay community to enhance the native plant landscape through invasive, non-native plant removal. Be sure to dress for the weather, wear durable/long-sleeved attire (as we’ll be among blackberry!), bring a reusable water bottle (we’ll have water to share), and wear closed-toe shoes.

This work party will be best for those ages 8 and up, who don’t mind tackling blackberry and navigate well on uneven terrain off trail. We hope to see you there!

Parking is limited – please carpool or bike/walk over if you can – extra spots available at Fieldstone Senior Living (10861 NE Manitou Park Blvd.)

About 8 Acre Woods: 8 Acre Woods is Bainbridge Island’s newest natural park. The Bainbridge Island Parks & Trails Foundation facilitated the generous land gift from the conservation-minded property owner, transforming the parcel into a new neighborhood park for all to enjoy.

Located in the Skiff Point neighborhood near Rolling Bay, 8 Acre Woods fills a longtime gap in local park access, serving a neighborhood where the nearest public park previously was more than a mile distant.
