Help Us Grow Our Forest at Richmond Beach Saltwater Park

September 12, 9am-11:30am @ Richmond Beach Saltwater Park

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). more

Mulch for Fall at Richmond Beach Library Park

September 14, 10am-12pm @ Richmond Beach Library Community Park

Please join our small but mighty group of volunteers for a last-week-of-summer work party at Richmond Beach Community Park (where the library is!). We will be mulching the previously cleared site, and possibly clearing additional invasive plants. This work is done on a level area, but we are working on the big staircase, so walking up and down stairs is involved. We look forward to seeing you! more

Shoreline Park Work Party

September 14, 10am-12pm @ Shoreline Park

Please join us in keeping the small forest of Shoreline Park beautiful. If we love this park, it will keep loving us right back. We're dreaming of a park free of invasive plants and filled with native plants. Work areas are manageable and it's easy to see the difference we've made so far. We'll be cutting and digging out Himalayan blackberry, rolling up carpets of English ivy, and working to preserve the trailing blackberry, salal, ferns, bleeding heart, and other native plants already thriving. We'll also be hauling mulch to the cleared area. more

Join us! Weekly Sunday Work Party

September 15, 9am-12pm @ Twin Ponds Park

We had October-like rain in August! But with not entirely cool weather, the invasives exploded everywhere. We are trying to clear herb Robert one area at a time but there’s still plenty to pull out, not to mention bindweed, nipplewort and bird-seeded Himalayan blackberry. In short, there’s plenty to do so join us! more

Work Together at North City Park

September 20, 10am-1pm @ North City Park

Time to nurture our newly restored areas of North City Park, removing invasive plants and mulching around our newest plantings.

The work we do together at this work party and at the others we have planned through the end of the year will assure that the forest grows with the community. more
