10/3 Dr. Jose Rizal

Join EarthCorps and the Green Seattle Partnership as we work to make our urban forests beautiful!  We will be working to restore Dr. Jose Rizal Park in the Beacon Hill neighborhood.  Dr. Jose Rizal Park.  Dr. Rizal was a Filipino patriot who, during his short life, made lasting contributions to medicine, political and social reform, engineering and a large number of other disciplines.
We will spend the day working to restore this urban forest to a healthier state. Volunteers will be removing English ivy, an invasive plant that climbs and chokes native trees.  We will also be weeding and mulching plants we planted back in January – plants that will grow to become the next generation of Seattle forest.  This work will make the forest a healthier system, one that will remain for future generations of the community to enjoy.
So, start your Saturday right.  Get up, get out, and get to work on making your city a greener place!
