King County Parks is developing a stewardship plan for three open spaces in the Black Diamond area, including Black Diamond Open Space, Ravensdale Retreat Natural Area and Henry’s Ridge Open Space.

A Nov. 30 public meeting has been scheduled to provide information about stewardship planning process.

The meeting is set for 6-8:30 p.m., in the Commons at Tahoma Junior High School, 25600 SE Summit Landsburg Rd., Ravensdale.

King County Parks Division representatives will provide information about the three open spaces and gather ideas from the community about stewardship and uses for the area.

The meeting will include a short presentation and an opportunity for public comment. Written comments will be accepted until Friday, Dec. 16.

King County Parks will present a summary of the community’s input and draft recommendations for the Black Diamond Area Stewardship Plan at a follow-up community meeting from 6-8:30 p.m. Jan. 11 in the Commons at Tahoma Junior High School.

Meeting participants will have an opportunity to share their views on the draft recommendations and ask questions.

As part of the stewardship planning, King County Parks will host a field trip from 10 a.m. to noon Nov. 19 . Participants will have an opportunity to tour the forestlands and discuss stewardship with forest scientists from the University of Washington School of Environmental and Forest Sciences.
