Join Trees for Seattle and Dirt Corps for our second tree care skill share and volunteer work party at Meadowbrook Pond! We will learn how to identify local trees and celebrate their many social, ecological, and health benefits. We’ll then remove harmful weeds from around the adult trees at this site so they can continue to thrive and support the well-being of this special wetland ecosystem and their neighbors (all of us!)

SDOT is hosting a community work day at the S Eddy St Shoreline Street End. Tasks for the day will include weeding and spreading 6 cubic yards of mulch. Mulch will be spread to prepare the soil for where our proposed fall plantings will be installed. Please bring a water bottle and boots or wear closed-toe shoes and rain gear for being outside for three hours. SDOT is only able to provide mulch and a few tools for this work party and are asking folks bring their own gloves, rakes, weeding tools, and wheelbarrows to help resource this event.
