1/18 Dearborn

Join EarthCorps and the Green Seattle Partnership as we work together this Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. weekend!  Dearborn Park is located in South Seattle, between Beacon Hill and Columbia City.  Help us to restore this forest by removing invasive plant species like English Ivy! Plants like ivy move into a forest, kill existing plants and trees, and take up all the room so that nothing else can grow.  By pulling the ivy, we create room for plants to breathe and space for new plants to flourish.  We'd love to see you out at Dearborn Park!

What to bring: closed toe shoes, long pants, and a water bottle
