Flora
The parks are mostly forested with native Bigleaf Maple, Coast Douglas-fir, Western Hemlock, and Western Redcedar. Nonindigenous trees include Coast Redwood, Incense-cedar, and Western Larch.
There are workparties in the park held by the Seattle Parks Department, particularly in April and May. A volunteer group, Friends of Ravenna Ravine, works to remove invasive species, such as English Ivy and Himalayan Blackberry from the park and restore native vegetation.
