Join Trees for Seattle and Dirt Corps for our third tree care skill share and volunteer work party at Webster Pond! We will learn how to properly apply mulch and water trees to keep them cool and hydrated during the hot dry season (summer!). We’ll then practice these skills while caring for the adult trees in this special riparian forest. Come learn and care for this neighborhood greenspace with us!

All ages and skill levels are welcome! We’ll provide the tools, gloves, snacks, hot drinks, and water. Please register: https://linktr.ee/thedirtcorps
