Where: Rainier Beach Community Center, 8825 Rainier Ave S, Seattle, WA 98118
What: The crisp feel of fall is in the air, and it is time to celebrate Arbor Day!
Join the celebration of the amazing trees in the Rainier Valley! The Rainier Valley is home to Seattle's oldest and largest Garry oak trees, Washington's only native oak. Volunteer with us to plant new Garry oaks and other tree species, as well as to care for existing trees. Arbor Day activities include an Ask an Arborist booth, a neighborhood Tree Walk, apple cider press, trash pickup, bird spotting, and more! All ages and abilities welcome.
CITO trash pick up supplies will also be on hand and available for participants to clean up the community center and surrounding neighborhood.
