Mercer Island Cub Scout Pack 624, Boy Scout Troop 624 and the city’s Parks and Recreation team are transforming First Hill Park.

What used to be an understory filled with ivy, blackberry and invasive trees is now filled with diverse native plants. The scouts and their parents installed, mulched and watered 70 plants.
