Activities

Seattle Forest Week is November 7th - 15th!

Plant a forest and grow community! This is the time of year that we get together with our neighbors and kick off tree planting season. From creating wildlife habitat, to combating climate change, and providing a place for residents to recreate: having a hand in Seattle Forest Week is one of the best ways to give back to your neighbors, parks, and your local forest.

Join the fun and be one of hundreds of volunteers across the city planting native trees, shrubs, and groundcovers that will become the future forest of Seattle. All community members are welcome, and no experience is necessary. These events are family friendly and open to all ages.

All ages OK

What to Bring

Come dressed for the weather (rain or shine) in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes (rubber boots, hiking shoes or boots), long sleeves, long pants, warm layers and rain jacket. We'll have tools and gloves for you to use AND if you have a tool that you like to use, please bring it as well. Help reduce waste by bringing your own water bottle!

Where to Meet

Use 5171 S Ruggles St. for map navigation to the area. We will be working in the greenbelt immediately to the north of the road and before the private driveway. Look for the "Another Future Healthy Forest" signs.

Although the area we are working in is part of the Kubota greenbelt, you cannot access the space from Kubota Garden. Please use the address above to find the work site.

Where to Park

Parking is available at the top of the hill and using the right-of-way on the left side of the road. Please observe the no parking signs by the utility gate.
