Notes
- The Starflower Foundation experimented with unprecedented seed-based restoration and contract growing of diverse species with the aim of fully restoring native biodiversity in Seattle parks from ruderal weeds to the canopy.
- Community groups were identified and cultivated as part of collaboration, along with in-house and pull-out naturalist and gardening programs in nearby schools.
- Starflower was a strong supporter of Earthcorps crews and focused on restoration of Seattle city parks.
- Extensive mapping of public lands in the City of Seattle was completed under the foundation, with the mapping groups spinning off to support Earthcorps with the closing of Starflower.
