Arbor Day
Come celebrate Arbor Day with Mercer Island Natural Resources Team! Arbor Day is an annual event where we celebrate our urban canopy and help to create future healthier forests. This year, we're looking to get 850+ native plants in the ground at Gallagher Hill Open Space. In addition to planting we will have plenty of mulch to spread, and weeds to pull out of the ground. We could use all the help we can get!
At noon we will have pizza provided by Pagliacci’s for all volunteers.
When: Saturday, October 19th , 10am-2pm
Where: Gallagher Hill Open Space off of Shorewood Dr (park is within the Shorewood community), follow VOLUNTEER EVENT Signs
What to bring: Dress for the weather in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty (think: long pants, boots or sneakers). Bring a water bottle. Small snacks, lunch, gloves, and tools will be provided
Directions: From N Mercer Way- turn up Shorewood Drive. Follow Shorewood Drive into the community, and take a right on W Shorewood Dr, follow the loop to E Shorewood Drive. Look for the "P-Patch" Sign. You can also access Shorewood Drive from 88th Ave Se or 90th Ave SE
