Join REI and local Steward Chris for a morning of Riverside Restoration off the Green River Trail. Himalayan Blackberry and Bindweed aggressively take over and choke out young native trees and understory plants. Volunteers are removing the invasive plants and making room for native trees and shrubs.

All ages OK

What to Bring

Dress for the weather, wear closed-toed shoes, and cover your legs and arms; blackberry is very scratchy. Bring a full water bottle and tough gardening gloves if you have them.

Where to Meet

We will meet in the park and walk to the site; the site is just south of the park under the bridge.

Where to Park

Use the parking lot at the park.

About Green Tukwila Partnership, Tukwila Parks and Recreation

Location:

12424 42nd Ave S, Tukwila, WA 98188, US

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.
