COVID Guidelines

Before attending this event, please watch our COVID-19 Volunteer Event Safety Video - GreenSeattle.org/COVIDvideo

Arrive wearing your cloth face covering. You will be expected to keep it on through the entire event. If you forget a mask, extras will be available. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide water and snacks during our events. Please come prepared with your own water bottle and food. You are welcome to bring your own hand sanitizer, work gloves, and specific tools applicable to the tasks outlined in the work plan below (please no power equipment). We will also supply gloves, tools, hand sanitizer, well as sanitation spray for tools.

What to Bring

Tools and supplies will be provided for removal of the ivy, piling it up on tarps, and hauling it off for disposal. If you want to bring your own tools, please mark them with your name so we make sure they leave with you again. All volunteers must come masked as an extra precaution against COVID19. Please bring your own gloves, wear sturdy shoes and long slacks as some areas may be wet and muddy. Please also bring your own water and snacks.
