Seattle Tree Stewards and Dirt Corps are hosting an October Tree Care Event in honor of World Migratory Bird Day! Volunteers are invited to join us in continuing vegetation management (removing aggressive weeds) throughout Meadowbrook Pond. We’ll be learning about the role of fallen leaves and debris in the forest and how we can take care of our trees with mulch. We’ll also be diving into the role of birds, migratory as well as resident, in the health and ecosystem function of our forests! This will be a great time to learn about the nutrient cycle in forests, the importance of mulch for tree health, and the intricate relationship between our urban forests and local bird populations while making a tangible difference in the Meadowbrook Pond ecosystem.
All skill levels are welcome! Please wear clothing that can get dirty, including long sleeves, long pants, and closed-toed shoes. With fall here, please make sure to wear layers for the sun, rain, and cooler temperatures. We'll be providing the tools, snacks, and water to keep you hydrated and energized. Bring work gloves if you have them; if not, we'll have some you can borrow. We hope you'll join us!
