Join local neighbor& Forest Steward Debbie for an afternoon impacting the environment. Planting season kicks off in October and we want to get as many plants and possible into the ground to establish a young forest. Riverton Park's natural areas have been overrun with English ivy for years and there are no young trees. We need volunteers to help plant a diverse pallett of native shrubs and trees. This is an example of how Tukwila can support urban wildlife within the park’s systems.
Tasks can including, remvoing ivy, watering, mulching and planting!
All tools, materials and training will be provided at the start of the work party.

Mission Statement
Healthy parks and natural open spaces are a gift to our city and everyone in it. They provide places where people can connect with nature, see wildlife, and explore the beautiful Pacific Northwest. They also keep the air and waterways clean, buffer noise, provide habitat for local wildlife, and absorb carbon to fight against climate change. These valuable places can’t take care of themselves in an urban environment, they need our help to make sure we have a healthy and green Tukwila-today, tomorrow, and into the future.
Description
Join friends, neighbors, and bring your families outside to learn about trees, shrubs, invasive plants, how to use tools, and much more. Work parties are being planned for community members and businesses to care for precious urban forests and to ensure healthy, safe, and beautiful public spaces to enjoy in the future.
