Meet at the end of 7551 8th Ave S
Join Trees for Neighborhoods, Georgetown Youth Council, and Dirt Corps for our upcoming tree care skill share and volunteer work party at Gateway Park North. This event will include a skill share about how to mulch trees in a way that is beneficial to the tree and doesn't harm them. We will also learn about different types of mulch and their different role in moisture retention, soil amendments and erosion control. We’ll then practice these skills while caring for the trees in this special shoreline ecosystem. Come learn and care for this neighborhood greenspace with us!
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.
