Activities

Join Dirt Corps this May to learn about foraging in the urban landscape and help us care for this section of the West Duwamish Greenbelt. We'll be learning about human-appreciated plants in the PNW, and how biodiversity in Westcrest Park relates to this effort. We'll then be caring for our restoration area by applying mulch around the native plants and trees, removing weeds (looking at you, blackberry! a yummy but gnarly invasive species), and performing other important kinds of landscape maintenance. We hope to see you there!

What to Bring

Please bring with you what you will need to be comfortable whilst spending a few hours working outside. Dress in clothed layers for the weather, and consider bringing additional dry, insulating, or waterproof layers, and close toed shoes.
Remember to bring water, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, or any other accessories to protect yourself from the elements.
Remember that blackberry thorns are sharp and can snag clothing, and that the terrain may be uneven and/or wet.
We will be providing gloves and tools for all to use, as well as snacks, hot drinks, and water.
