Native trees and plants are in!

Join local neighbor and Forest Steward Debbie for an afternoon of environmental impact. Learn how to plant and mulch a forest that will provide shade, clean air, and be a habitat for wildlife.

We aim to reestablish a healthy urban forest bordering the community park. This is an example of how Tukwila can support urban wildlife within the park’s systems.

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

Restrooms are on-site May-October. Alternatively, you can use the restroom at the Tukwila Community Center, located just a short drive down the street.

All ages OK

What to Bring

Bring a full water bottle, snacks for yourself, weather-appropriate clothes, and closed-toed shoes. If you have garden gloves, please bring them.

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.
