Trees for Seattle, Dirt Corps, and the Georgetown Youth Council invite you to join us for our first tree care skill share and volunteer work party at Gateway Park North, a special neighborhood greenspace that we have worked for years to restore and enhance along the Duwamish River. We will learn about English ivy and other harmful weeds, their history, how they relate to the ecosystem, and how best to remove them to allow our trees and native plants to thrive. We’ll then practice these skills while caring for the trees in this local riverside park!
The Green Seattle Partnership is a collaboration between the City of Seattle, community groups and non-profits, businesses, schools, and thousands of volunteers working together to restore and actively maintain the City's forested parklands. Check out the Green Seattle website and their calendar of volunteer events and signup to support Seattle's forested natural areas.
