Join EarthCorps and the City of Federal Way as we restore this historically significant site! Fun fact: this site is home to a former blueberry farm. The blueberry patch still exists today and is free & open to the public during blueberry season. In addition to a relatively healthy riparian area and upland forest the Hylebos Creek runs through this site. Salmon are often seen in this portion of the Hylebos Creek.
Current work at the park includes removing Himalayan blackberry and in the winter planting native trees and shrubs.

About EarthCorps:
EarthCorps is an independent nonprofit supported by donors and volunteers. Each year we work with over 10,000 volunteers at hundreds of events around the region to improve our forests, shorelines and salmon streams. We believe that involving the community through hands on work is the best way to keep our parks healthy.
The Work We Do:
While the exact tasks at hand vary, our projects focus on improving the forests and parks in our local cities. Healthy and thriving forests are vital to our community because they absorb and naturally filter rain water, absorb toxins in the air, produce clean oxygen, provide living spaces for wildlife, and they create a place for people to connect with the outdoors.
In order to help create healthy forests, we focus on removing aggressive weeds (like English Ivy or Himalayan Blackberry), maintaining areas where these weeds have been removed, and planting trees and shrubs during the rainy season.
