Join Earthcorps and the City of Mukilteo's park stewards to help restore this beautiful 147 acre forested park.
Recently purchased by the city and saved from development, Japanese Gulch provides essential habitat to a wide range of wildlife -- including eagles, deer, coyotes,and salmon-- and offers great recreational opportunities for the surrounding community!
THE BASICS:
EarthCorps supplies gloves, tools, water, light refreshments and volunteer education. We will provide everything you need to know about tool use and safety, forest health, information on the park, and the importance of the work you’ll be doing. No prior experience necessary, just come ready to learn something new!
WHAT WILL WE BE DOING?
At this event we will be planting! We will also provide a free pizza lunch!

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.
