Activities

Come celebrate Earth Day by spending a couple hours enjoying and restoring the Genesee forest. Increasing our tree canopy cover is one way we can protect our neighborhood against the extreme heat of climate change. It's also a way we can work for social justice, as South Seattle has been a historically green-poor area. We'll be pulling ivy as well as protecting our new baby plants with buckets and buckets of mulch.

All ages OK

What to Bring

Dress for the weather, including sturdy shoes you don't mind getting muddy. Bring a water bottle or travel mug--we'll provide some snacks.

Where to Meet

Meet in the forest on the east side of the Genesee Meadow. From the gravel parking lot, walk north, towards the lake, past the picnic shelter towards the trail kiosk. The site is just to the east of the kiosk. (if you are by the soccer fields you are in the wrong part of the park!)
