Join us to plant, weed pull, and restoration at Salmon Creek Park! We’ll be placing a bunch of native plants like ground covers, shrubs, and trees, removing weeds, like English ivy and stinky Bob, enjoying some tunes, and getting some dirt under those fingernails.
We’ll cover forest health, tool use and safety. No experience necessary. Come ready to get a little dirty, help your community, and restore this land.
Open to the public, all ages welcome.
