Activities

Our plant order has officially arrived, which means it’s time to plant trees again—and declare war on some very stubborn blackberries! This time, we’re taking the fight just northwest of the View Point Park entrance to areas we call the lower Berry Bowl and Sprucelands. Thanks to the mountain bike trails, we can finally reach these spots to continue our multi-year, downhill restoration mission. All that stands between our new plants and their forever homes is a wall of thorny vines (plus a few nearby wetland areas that are begging for a little TLC). Bring your gloves and your best loppers—or if you don’t have any, don’t sweat it! We’ll have plenty of gloves, loppers, and shovels on hand for you to use.

What to Bring

Bring thick gloves, boots, a water bottle, and a snack. We will provide tools, and if you don’t have gloves, we have some available. Be sure to wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty or torn by blackberry thorns!

Where to Meet

We meet at View Point Park in the Rainier Vista Neighborhood.

Where to Park

We strongly encourage walking, rolling, or using public transportation, such as the nearby Link Light Rail, but there is plenty of free on-street parking nearby.
