This seven-acre Park property is a large, divided ravine in northeast Seattle. It is part of the Yesler Creek watershed and is in need of invasive removal and tree-planting to make it an even better habitat for the birds that live there.

Description:
Yesler Creek Headwaters Reforestation Project is a neighborhood group of volunteers who see the possibilities of restoration of the forest at this site. A Forest Steward, trained by the Green Seattle Partnership, works closely with Seattle Public Utilities in restoring the forest and the waterway.

History:
Several years ago, perhaps as many as nine years, one neighbor found several like-minded neighbors to make a dent in the invasive non-native plants and to do some native planting in the area. YCHR Project continues as a neighborhood-propelled group of dedicated citizens working with the Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation.
