But if you&rsquo;re serious, you have to get your boots muddy. Seven shovel-ready Northshore School District teens showed their commitment on a cold and rainy winter Saturday by digging in to Bothell&rsquo;s North Creek Forest.<\/p>\n\n<p>足彩app哪个是正规的y grabbed shovels, shears and rakes to battle blackberry vines and eradicate the thorny invasive plants all the way down to their stubborn roots.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/shovels.jpg\" alt=\"shovels\" class=\"wp-image-28651\"><\/figure>\n\n<p>Jasmine Feola, Kynan Rutan, Komal Kukunuru and Caitlin Short from Bothell High School; Shannon Hong and Erin Gallagher from Inglemoor; Ila Sharma who attends Tesla STEM High School in Redmond; and one Inglemoor student who couldn&rsquo;t make that day, Sandy Cheng, are &ldquo;L-wippers.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n<p>足彩app哪个是正规的 eight are the first Bothell cohort of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificsciencecenter.org\/lake-washington-watershed-internship\/\">Lake Washington Watershed Internship Program (LWWIP)<\/a>. 足彩app哪个是正规的 University of Washington Bothell is hosting this extension of Bellevue&rsquo;s Mercer Slough Environmental Education Center. 足彩app哪个是正规的 program is funded by an Institute for Museum and Library Science grant with support from the Pacific Science Center, including teen programs supervisor Ian Schooley and environmental educator Charity Villines.<\/p>\n\n<p>&ldquo;We like to focus on the issues of this exact place, and a lot these kids live just over the hill or around the corner. 足彩app哪个是正规的y are observing their natural surroundings all the time,&rdquo; says Schooley, left, who uses spare time in the forest to teach the students how to recognize different species of trees and ferns. 足彩app哪个是正规的 tiny licorice fern growing on the mossy side of tree supposedly has a licorice taste, he says.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/ian-schooley.jpg\" alt=\"Ian Schooley\" class=\"wp-image-28652\"><\/figure>\n\n<p>UW Bothell provides meeting space and connections. It linked the L-wippers to the North Creek Forest and mentors in the UW Restoration Ecology Network, which gives University seniors capstone projects in restoring green spaces and building environmental knowledge in a community. It&rsquo;s a valuable partnership, says Warren Gold, UW Bothell associate professor and director of the UW-wide network.<\/p>\n\n<p>&ldquo;UW-REN students become teachers and mentors &ndash; and there is rarely a better way to really learn material and develop a deep understanding than to have to teach it to inquisitive young students,&rdquo; says Gold. &ldquo;足彩app哪个是正规的 mentoring partnership also energizes and inspires our undergrads to think critically about their work and to be sure to have fun &ndash; something that can be in short supply on cold, rainy days in the forest.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n<p>It was that kind of day on Feb. 4 when Wendy Prather and several other UW Restoration Ecology Network students welcomed the teens&rsquo; help in the 64-acre forest near the University. It recently became the property of the city of Bothell through the work of the community organization <a href=\"http:\/\/www.friendsnorthcreekforest.org\/\">Friends of North Creek Forest<\/a>. Work is underway to restore it and add park improvements such as trails.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/digging-3.jpg\" alt=\"students working\" class=\"wp-image-28653\"><\/figure>\n\n<p>It was nice to have the teen volunteers &ldquo;understand what it means to restore a damaged area&rdquo; and also the &ldquo;extra hands to get going on it,&rdquo; said Prather, a UW Bothell senior in environmental science. 足彩app哪个是正规的 other UW Bothell student on the North Creek Forest team is Michael Groves, a third-year student, also majoring in environmental science.<\/p>\n\n<p>Schooley says his L-wippers also will gather water quality data on North Creek in the campus wetland where they&rsquo;ve watched in awe as thousands of crows fly to their roost.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/digging-4.jpg\" alt=\"students working\" class=\"wp-image-28654\"><\/figure>\n\n<p>足彩app哪个是正规的 program runs through the end of the school year in June, but it&rsquo;s designed to start with sophomores who work together for three years.<\/p>\n\n<p>&ldquo;足彩app哪个是正规的y end up creating community that really is theirs.
