Scotch Broom Wipeout

  • Friends of Fort Worden State Park 200 Battery Way Port Townsend, WA, 98368 (map)

Scotch Broom Party Saturday, June 15, 9:30-noon

Meet at Artillery Hill Gate for coffee at 9 a.m.

 The Scotch Broom is in full flower and this year's growth promises a huge crop of seeds. One of the largest concentrations of broom at Fort Worden is at the mortar batteries on top of Artillery Hill.

On Saturday, June 15, 9:30-12:00, we will cut as much of this broom as possible. 

Coffee and cookies in the parking area next to Artillery Hill Gate (Discover Pass required) from 9-9:30. Please bring loppers, gloves, water. We will have extra loppers available.

Two vehicles will have room for a few riders and all of the tools but you should be prepared to walk. The easiest route to the work area, IMHO, is via Command Post Rd where the red one ton truck will be parked. See the park map for this location.

Hope you can join us!

Cheers, Will Barrett
