The summers are hot and we have a young native forests that needs some hand watering! Join us for a a couple of hours, watering and micro-weeding English ivy.

Riverton Park is a beautiful community park with picnic tables, a playground, Gully Gardens P-Patch, walking loop with a natural border that offers something for everyone. The urban forest that boarders the park has largely established, mature trees that support wildlife, reduce pollutants in the air and help to bring shade on hot days. Unfortunately, these trees are in danger due to English Ivy that grows aggressively and chokes out native plants and trees. The good news is YOU ARE HERE to help, as a community, we can save these trees and install a healthy native forest plus, it is a ton of fun!

All tools, materials and training will be provided at the start of the work party.

All ages and identities are welcome.

Mission Statement

Healthy parks and natural open spaces are a gift to our city and everyone in it. They provide places where people can connect with nature, see wildlife, and explore the beautiful Pacific Northwest. They also keep the air and waterways clean, buffer noise, provide habitat for local wildlife, and absorb carbon to fight against climate change. These valuable places can’t take care of themselves in an urban environment, they need our help to make sure we have a healthy and green Tukwila-today, tomorrow, and into the future.

Description

Join friends, neighbors, and bring your families outside to learn about trees, shrubs, invasive plants, how to use tools, and much more. Work parties are being planned for community members and businesses to care for precious urban forests and to ensure healthy, safe, and beautiful public spaces to enjoy in the future.
