Join the Green Kirkland Partnership to help replant the forest of Juanita Heights Park. Volunteers will spend the morning planting native trees, shrubs, and ground covers and doing a mix of restoration activities which may include removing aggressive invasive species like ivy and blackberry, spreading mulch over cleared areas. No experience is necessary and we encourage volunteers of all ages to join us!
Suggested Dress: Remember to dress for the weather. Wear boots or comfortable athletic shoes, work clothes (long pants), and don’t forget your raingear. Some of the areas that we are working in are a bit soggy so we recommend that you wear rain boots and clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty!
What to bring/wear to volunteer: Bring a filled water bottle and snacks to munch on during the event. Tools, gloves and training will be provided at the site.
Meet: at the park entrance by the wooden sign.
Parking: Parking is available along the street. We encourage volunteers to carpool, bike, bus, or walk to the event.
Youth Volunteers: Volunteers 14-17 may volunteer without their parents if they bring a youth waiver signed by a parent or guardian. All volunteers under 14 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Find the Youth Waiver here: Green Kirkland Youth Volunteer Waiver.
