Help us create community green space and pollinator habitat under the power lines in the Duwamish River Valley. We hope you can join us on the first Saturday of each month for hands on learning about pollinator conservation and habitat restoration!
The Greenline is a partnership between The Common Acre, Alleycat Acres, and Seattle City Light. This restoration project works to increase pollinator habitat, create interactive green space, and grow native berries for our neighborhood. We've studied bees, built soil, removed invasive species, and last year we did our first plantings. This year we need your help with some farm upkeep of mulching and soil building.
Join us for a fun day of community work and learn about what it takes to restore urban spaces for pollinator habitat. Come as you are, all ages and abilities are welcome. We'll provide all the tools and gloves, and bring along some snacks and beverages. Family friendly!

About Alleycat Acres

Mission Statement
Alleycat Acres reconnects people, place, and produce by transforming underutilized space into a network of neighborhood run farms.
Description
In other words, we make farms happen. Food is more than what we eat: it’s a medium through which we can forge intimate, meaningful relationships between people and place. Farming is a medium that reconnects us, both mentally and physically, to our surroundings. Our entire operation is based on the collective belief that urban food systems are key in creating healthy communities.
Our produce is distributed between our volunteers who worked for the day and a network of agency partners including Food Banks, Supportive Housing, Shelters, and Recovery service providers. Join us at one of our weekly work parties at any of our four farms. All ages and abilities are welcome - our farm coordinators will be on site to walk you through tasks and teach you everything they know about urban gardening!
