It seems people who care about Thornton Creek want to know more about the plants that grow native in our watershed.

At the last Thornton Creek Alliance meeting, renowned Seattle plant expert Arthur Lee Jacobson discussed “Native Trees in our Watershed,” and this month he’s “back by popular demand” to talk about “Native Plants in our Watershed.”

The meeting, which is free and open to the public, begins with social time at 6:45 p.m. Thursday, May 26, at Lake City Presbyterian Church (Room B2), 3841 N.E. 123rd St. Jacobson will give his presentation at 7 p.m., and the group will hold its business portion of the meeting afterward.

For more information, contact alliance Vice President Dan Mahler at 206-523-8813 or kkmahler@earthlink.net.

Want to learn even more about watersheds? Come to the 2011 Seattle Watersheds Forum, from 6-8:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 8, at the flagship REI, 222 Yale Ave. N.

The third forum in the series tackles the theme Partnerships in Action, and features a pair of panels that will explore the overarching question of “how do we make it happen?” One will discuss building partnerships for neighborhood scale projects; and the other will explore more personalized approaches to rainwater management, such as rain gardens, cisterns and other techniques to let the rain soak in.

These forums are part of a strategy called Restore Our Waters that was initiated in 2004 to take actions and promote partnerships that protect and improve Seattle
