[Tweeters] Montlake Fill digging

[Constance Sidles]

Hey tweets, if you've been wondering about all the digging up of grasslands south of the CUH building and south of the Youth Farm, you might like to read about what's going on. It's a multi-year project to assess the water use of 15+ different species of sun-loving plants so as to produce scientifically accurate data about how these plants might respond to the climate change expected in our region, i.e, hotter and drier.

Here is a link that explains the project:
