Join Trees for Seattle and Dirt Corps for our third tree care skill share and volunteer work party at Longfellow Creek! We will learn how to properly apply mulch and water trees to keep them cool and hydrated during the hot dry season (summer!). We’ll then practice these skills while caring for the adult trees in this special riparian forest. Come learn and care for this neighborhood greenspace with us!
Continue to join us at Longfellow Creek throughout the year for more upcoming lessons in our Tree Care and Skill Share volunteer series, including right tree, right place. 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.
