October 5 Longfellow Creek Forest Appreciation Event!
External registration link (required): https://forms.office.com/g/ pWsH5UrsQ2
Come celebrate World Migratory Bird Day and the local Longfellow Creek forest with Seattle Tree Stewards and Dirt Corps at our annual October volunteer appreciation event! Join us for a bird intro and walk through this section of the forest led by a local treasure, Ed Dominguez of the Seward Park Audubon Center, where we’ll learn about the role of birds in the forest, the fascinating resident and migratory birds present in this region, and what we can all do to support forest and bird health. We’ll finish with a hot BBQ lunch from a local vendor.
We will not be focusing on tree care work during this event, but we will be outside walking through vegetated areas with potentially wet weather and/or ground. Please dress for light hiking and for the weather that day. Close-toed shoes and long pants and sleeves are encouraged. We hope to see you there!
