We’re excited to invite you to volunteer with us at McCollum Park, a beautiful 78-acre space in Everett. The park offers a diverse landscape, including forested areas, walking trails, and open fields. It’s also home to the Northwest Stream Center that provides educational programing that focuses on local waterways and stream restoration.
Join us on Friday, September 19, 1:00 to 4:00 PM as we work together to restore essential habitat at McCollum Park. We’ll begin with an educational walk through the park. Restoration professionals will be on-site to answer questions about plants, restoration practices, and conservation efforts.
This is a great opportunity to connect with nature, create community, and make a positive impact on our local environment. We look forward to seeing you there!
What we are doing: We will focus on removing blackberries, ivy and other noxious weeds around native plants as well as applying mulch to the soil. This will ensure the native plants can thrive. You can even help by bringing plastic-free and adhesive-free cardboard to stop the weeds from regrowing.
What to bring: Please wear long sleeves, long pants and sturdy, closed-toe shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty. Bring a full water bottle. Hand tools, gloves, and snacks will be provided, but you can bring your own if you wish. Remember to bring rain gear if rain is in the forecast.
Where to Park: McCollum Park (600 128th St SE Everett, WA 98208)
Where to Meet: We will meet at the northwest end of the park, in the woods behind the swimming pool. Follow the signs and look for the people wearing yellow vests.
Date and Time: Friday, September 19, 1:00 to 4:00 PM

About Forterra

Mission Statement
Forterra's mission is to act with immediacy to protect, enhance and steward our region's most precious resources--its communities and its landscapes. Since 1989, we have been working toward a future in which our children and grandchildren can experience nature in and around our urban environments.
Description
Forterra conserves land by working with individuals, companies and local governments. We strive to maximize the ecological value of land, while meeting the needs of landowners. We may accept land as a donation, purchase it, or transfer it to public ownership. We often serve as a broker to identify and negotiate the most effective ownership to protect important lands. We establish conservation easements to preserve special features. For each and every property, we explore available strategies or create new ones to provide permanent protection. Forterra has established a Conservation Agenda for our region, with specific priorities and methods for each type of landscape. Current initiatives include the protection of working forests on the foothills of the Cascades, and the creation of salmon sanctuaries along our region's highest quality rivers and streams.
