What we're doing:
Have a hand in restoring Seattle's forests during our biggest party of the year, Green Seattle Day! We want you to dig in and to get out into your local neighborhood to help us kick off our planting season. Join the fun at Kubota Gardens from 9am-noon, and be one of the hundreds of volunteers planting thousands of plants in parks throughout the Emerald City! All community members are welcome, and no experience is necessary! The event is family friendly and open to all ages. Volunteers will plant trees and other plants that will become the future forest of the park. We hope that you will all lend a hand in the neighborhoods you live in and to volunteer at the closest park near you! In addition to planting trees, we'll be picking up trash through the neighborhood in traditional CITO fashion. All tools & materials for tree planting and trash pick-up will be provided.
Sign-up here in addition to logging a 'will attend.'
What to Bring:
Come dressed for the weather (rain or shine) in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes (rubber boots, hiking shoes or boots), long sleeves, long pants, warm layers and rain jacket.
