Volunteer: Meadowbrook Pond Tree Care Skill Share and Work Party: Mulching and Pollinator Promotion!

Become a Seattle Tree Steward! Join Trees for Neighborhoods and Dirt Corps for our next tree care skill share and volunteer work party at the special wetland ecosystem of Meadowbrook Pond! We will learn how to mulch trees to protect them during the summer by increasing water retention and cooling down the soil around the tree roots. We will also be highlighting some of the amazing native pollinators that ensure our trees bear fruit and have seeds for the summer! Creating pollinator habitat, especially for ground-nesting bees is crucial for happy and healthy 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.

Volunteer: Westcrest Park Restoration and Pride with Pollinators

Join Dirt Corps this June to celebrate Polinator Pride and help us care for this section of the West Duwamish Greenbelt. We'll be learning about all the beautiful, colorful, and resilient native pollinators and how biodiversity in Westcrest Park is important to keeping our communities vibrant and healthy. We'll then care for our restoration area by applying mulch around the native plants and trees, removing weeds (looking at you, blackberry! a yummy but gnarly invasive species), and performing other important landscape maintenance. We hope to see you there!
