Activities

Enjoy the panoramic views of Puget Sound and the Olympia Mountains while helping to water trees and shrubs in native habitat restoration areas planted by UW students and community members. We use an innovative irrigation system that saves water and keeps our plants healthy during the hot summer months. It’s simple and can be used in home gardens – we can show you how.
Everyone who comes to help restore nearshore habitat at the park is appreciated! No experience is necessary; just an interest in working together and having fun while restoring native habitat. We provide all tools and work gloves. (You are welcome to bring your own if you wish).

All ages OK

4 out of 6 participants registered.

What to Bring

A water bottle, a snack if you want one, and tough clothes and shoes that can get dirty (because they will!), including long pants and closed-toed shoes. Work boots or hiking boots are best as we work on sloping ground. Running shoes are also fine. Remember to check the weather and bring appropriate layers and rain gear or sun protection as needed.
