1/17 Dearborn Park

Sign up for this event

Join EarthCorps, the Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation, and the Green Seattle Partnership for a day of service at Dearborn Park on Beacon Hill. MLK Day Weekend of Service participants should expect to learn a brief history of Jose Dearborn Park and an overview of Seattle's urban forests.

EarthCorps staff will discuss Dr King's legacy, forest structure, native vs. non-native plant species, environmental restoration and safety. We will spend the day working to restore this urban forest to a healthier state. Volunteers will be removing invasive plants and performing restoration site maintenance (weeding and woodchip application). We may also be planting native trees, shrubs and ground cover. This work will make the forest a healthier system, one that will remain for future generations of the community to enjoy.
