Kiwanis Memorial Preserve Park - Heron Habitat Helpers - …04/11/2026

Activities

We’ll be grubbing out blackberry root crowns and spreading mulch to prevent regrowth. The main blackberry stalks will already be cut, so we’ll focus on keeping the site healthy for native plants to thrive.

Designated as Seattle Parks’ first official Wildlife Sanctuary in 2010, Kiwanis Ravine is adjacent to Seattle’s largest Great Blue Heron colony—just a short walk from our work site! If you’re interested, we’d love to lead a short tour after the event.

Volunteers are welcome to join for any length of time. We’ll provide tools, gloves, and light snacks—just bring a full water bottle and wear clothes that can get muddy or snagged. No experience necessary, just enthusiasm for helping wildlife habitat thrive!
