Activities

Plant a forest and grow community! Help us create a healthier, happier, and greener Seattle by coming out to end Seattle Forest Week on Green Seattle Day! Lets improve wildlife habitat, combat climate change, and providing a place for community members to recreate.

Green Seattle Day is one of the best ways to give back to your neighbors, parks, and your local forest.

Join the fun with Magnuson Park Forest Stewards 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.

Check out SeattleForestWeek.org for more information on the celebration of Seattle’s forests during the week of October 22-29!

Where to Meet

Meet along the north cross park trail just west of the crest of Kite Hill. A large wood chip pile is along the trail near the meeting place.

To reach the meeting area from the swim beach area parking lot E4 head northwest and uphill over the mowed grass area to reach the north cross park trail. Total distance from the swim beach lot to the meeting area is about a quarter mile.

If approaching from the west side of the park head for the sports meadow (sports fields 1-4), follow the road around its perimeter and head up hill on the north cross park trail from the east side of the grass sports field area.
