  • Overall Site Plan
    Restoration Plan for Interlaken Ravine Site University of Washington Autumn Quarter 2002 EHUF 480 Planning Crew: Sarah Baker, Nancy Goodin, Anna Heckman, Andrea Holmer, Amy Lambert, Maureen Melville, Kevin Ramey, and Sara Stewart 1 Abstract Our group in the sustainable landscape class of 2002 selected a 1.5 acre site in Interlaken Park to formulate a restoration plan in cooperation with the City of Seattle Parks and Recreation. This site was chosen because of its existing ecological values including the presence of native trees and shrubs that support wildlife. Restoration of the Interlaken Ravine Site (IRS) is also important because of the habitat corridor it provides between natural areas in Interlaken Park that are currently being restored. The site is extensively used by the public, thereby creating a potential for restoration education programs. The site is located near Interlaken Boulevard, creating easy access to IRS. Planning areas were divided into zones according to the analysis of current site conditions. In preparation for a restoration plan, the following site assessments and analyses were conducted a) soil density and soil chemistry b) existing vegetation and canopy cover c) slope stability d) hydrology e) recreation and f) wildlife. The overall objective of the IRS restoration plan is to increase biodiversity by creating a native mixed conifer forest, thereby recreating patterns of late succession. Objectives also include managing inflow of water into the IRS, thereby increasing the health of the creek, increasing slope stability and increasing passive recreational value by providing opportunities for education. Restoration steps include removal of invasive species, revegetation of native species, addition of mulch to increase soil health and decrease weed competition, the reduction of erosion and sediment load, stabilization of shallow of surface slopes, opening constructed creek channels, and creating wildlife habitat.
