Description

Join the Green Kirkland Partnership and the University of Washington-Restoration Ecology Network to help restore the forest at Everest Park. Volunteers will spend the afternoon participating in restoration activities which may include removing non-native invasive plants like English ivy and Himalayan blackberry, spreading mulch over cleared areas, and planting native trees, shrubs and ground covers. No experience is necessary and we encourage volunteers of all ages to join us!

What to Bring: Please dress for the weather--layers are encouraged and rain gear is a must most times of the year, wear close-toed shoes and clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Bring a filled water bottle and snacks to munch on. Tools, gloves, and training will be provided.

Parking is available in the parking lot.

Youth Volunteering: Volunteers age 14-17 attending the event without a parent or guardian must bring a waiver signed by a parent or guardian to the event with them. Download the Green Kirkland Youth Volunteer Waiver. Volunteers under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
