ORGANIZATION: Pierce Conservation District

Filling mulch buckets

Volunteer with Pierce Conservation District from 9 AM to 12 PM on Saturday, November 23rd, at Edgewood's Nelson Nature Park and help keep this neighborhood gem a healthy green space! Activities will include caring for existing plants, removing invasive species, and sheet mulching bare soil to prevent regrowth of weeds. This work supports water quality, local wildlife, and our essential pollinators. Exact meeting location will be provided after signing up.

  • What will volunteers be doing at the event?
While the exact tasks at hand vary through the year, our projects focus on improving the open spaces, forests, and parks in our local cities. Healthy ecosystems and thriving wetlands are vital to our community because they absorb and naturally filter rain water, produce clean oxygen, provide living spaces for wildlife, and create a place for people to connect with the outdoors.
  • In order to create healthy forests and riparian zones, the work can include:
    • Caring for existing plantings
    • Adding a layer of tree mulch in the restoration spaces to reduce regrowth of invasive weeds
    • Removing invasive species such as English ivy & Himalayan blackberry

For your safety and comfort please bring:
  • Clothing that can get dirty
  • Long pants and sleeves
  • Sturdy shoes (closed toed shoes required, no sandals or flats)
  • Rain gear and warm layers (the event will happen rain or shine)
  • Full water bottle!

Description

The Pierce Conservation District works with the community to improve water quality, promote sustainable agriculture, create thriving habitat, and build a just and healthy food system for all, through education, community engagement, and financial and technical assistance. Our district’s roots run deep in our community. Created in 1949 as part of a national response to the ecological disaster of the 1930s known as the Dust Bowl, we have worked for over 65-years to help local farmers, cities, and citizens address numerous sustainability challenges. Conserving our natural resources for future generations gets more difficult with each year, making the work of Pierce Conservation District more important than ever.
