Activities

Plant a forest and grow community! Help us create a healthier, happier, and greener Seattle by coming out to kick off planting Season on Green Seattle Day! From creating wildlife habitat, to combating climate change, and providing a place for residents to recreate: having a hand in Green Seattle Day is one of the best ways to give back to your neighbors, parks, and your local forest.

Join the fun with Partner in Employment 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! The event is family friendly and open to all ages.

All ages OK

What to Bring

Please arrive wearing a mask. 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, as well as coffee, water, and a mid-morning snack. Help reduce waste by bringing your own refillable coffee mug/water bottle if you have one!

Where to Meet

Meet in front of the main garden entrance (9817 55th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98118). We will walk to the work site together. Note that the walk to the work site is a little longer than at some events and does include a steeper section of trail that can be slippery.

Where to Park

Parking is available at the main garden entrance. If it is a nice day the parking lot may fill quickly.
