Join Trees for Seattle and Dirt Corps for our first tree care skill share and volunteer work party at Meadowbrook Pond! We will be learning about English ivy and other harmful weeds, their history, how they relate to the ecosystem, and how best to remove them to allow our trees and native plants to thrive. We’ll then be practicing these skills while caring for the trees in this special wetland ecosystem. Come learn and care for this neighborhood greenspace with us!
Continue to join us at Meadowbrook Pond throughout the year for more upcoming lessons in our Tree Care and Skill Share series, including tree ID and benefits; mulching and watering; right tree, right place; pruning; and planting. This series offers a foundational toolkit for how to care for your own neighborhood trees and lend a hand to our city’s trees!
All ages and skill levels are welcome! Please wear clothing that can get dirty, including long sleeves, long pants, and closed-toed shoes. We’ll be working rain or shine, so everyone is encouraged to dress for the weather and wear layers if you can. We’ll provide the tools, gloves, snacks, hot drinks, and water.
