Volunteer Event: Lincoln Park: EarthCorps CLIMATE ACTION WEEK Event!

Sign up for this event

EarthCorps, Esurance the Green Seattle Partnership and partners present this exciting Climate Action Week event! Climate Action Week (formerly “Carbon Offset Day”) will take place on November 1-8, 2008. We plan to lead volunteers at up to 10 restoration sites in Federal Way, Kirkland, Mercer Island and Seattle. The educational aspect of the week focuses on reducing the carbon footprint of food by taking such simple and delicious steps as eating locally-grown produce, focusing more on fresh greens and less meat, as well as energy-saving tips for the kitchen. More information will be at www.climateactionweek.com starting on September 1.

This West Seattle landmark is one of the city's largest and most popular parks. Its 135 acres are home to ball fields, playgrounds, trails, shoreline, and forest. We must act now to preserve the forests of the park for the enjoyment of future generations. Invasive species like English ivy and Himalayan blackberry are choking out native vegetation and are bringing early deaths to Lincoln's trees.

Join EarthCorps, MudUp and the Green Seattle Partnership as we work to make the forests and shoreline of Lincoln Park healthy! Our projects will include invasive plant removal, preparing areas for planting native plants, and planting native plants.
