Activities

Plant a forest and grow community with us in Longfellow Creek, where we're rehabilitating an urban green space into a native food forest.

We'll be planting a variety of native species from trees to shrubs to ferns and ground covers. Each planting event will focus on a different zone of the food forest: The open meadow and forest edge, the multiple riparian forest creek edges, and the plum and poplar plateau. Other restoration activities usually include spreading mulch to the newly planted plants and sometimes removal of invasive species like blackberry, ivy, or bindweed. Come take part in local change with us! Walk away with pride, knowing your efforts support local ecology, community, and overall good health.

All are welcome, and no experience is necessary. Our events are family friendly and open to all ages.

What to Bring

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. Bring any water/tea/snacks you might want.

Where to Meet

The intersection of Willow St and 24th Ave SW will get you to the south end of the green space, where you will take the trail north to our meeting spot, at the creek bridge. You can also arrive from the north side where 24th Ave SW dead ends with the green space trail, where you'd walk south to our meeting spot at the creek bridge.

Where to Park

There is street parking on the south side of the greenspace around Willow st, as well as the north side of the green space along 24th Ave SW, and more further north near the triangle corner where 24th meets 25th.

The H line is a rapid line bus that runs between downtown Seattle and Burien and will drop you off on Delridge very close to the space, just a few minutes walk.
