Daybreak Community & Land Tending

October 01, 11am-3pm @ Daybreak Star

We invite you to join us in tending the land at Daybreak Star Cultural Center. These gatherings are a return—to land, to care, and to being in right relationship with one another. Guided by Indigenous leadership at the United Indians of All Tribes Foundation, we come together to practice food sovereignty, cultural memory, and collective care in ways that are grounded, relational, and real. This season, we are tending the Forest Garden, a living space that supports elders, youth, and Indigenous-centered community programs while growing a future rooted in reciprocity, responsibility, and long-term care. All ages are welcome. You’re invited to come move your body, tend the land, and be in community—whether you stay for a couple of hours or the full day. Together, we’ll engage in hands-on care of the land through planting, weeding, harvesting, and seasonal projects, while also making space for connection, learning, and shared reflection. If you’re looking for a place to show up, build relationships, and grow something lasting, this is a space to gather, care for the land, and imagine what’s possible—together. All ages OK more

Friends of Discovery Park

October 18, 10am-12pm @ Discovery Park

Capehart Forest is the most wildlife-diverse area in Discovery Park. Come help us promote forest health and increase its biodiversity by weeding out invasives, mulching and aerate the soil to encourage symbiotic fungi, and plant this years native shrubs and groundcovers. Miyawaki forests are densely planted, fast-growing pocket forests created using a diverse mix of native species. Developed by botanist Akira Miyawaki, this method jump-starts natural regeneration—mini-forests grow 10–30 times faster than conventional plantings, require little maintenance once established, and quickly create rich habitat for birds and wildlife. Check out this excellent YouTube video on Miyawaki forest gardens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUABUetUayM Discovery Park has its own Miyawaki-style mini-forests adjacent to the Capehart restoration area, and they’re already transforming former housing land into vibrant native woodland. To keep these young forests thriving, Friends of Discovery Park at Capehart focuses its work parties on tending, mulching, and supporting these dense new plantings. If you’d like to help restore biodiversity, learn about this innovative reforestation method, and see the Capehart area evolving firsthand, please join us. Your hands-on help makes a real difference in the health and future of Discovery Park’s newest forests. more

Rooted in Reciprocity (DNR sponsored)

October 31, 10am-12:30pm @ Seward Park

Caring for the land that cares for us. The land around us has been scarred by pollution, carved over by development, and fragmented by development expansion. To live in reciprocity means to give back, to tend, and to restore what has been lost. Are you in good relations with the land? By stepping into this work, we have the chance to give back, repair habitats, support native wildlife, and strengthen our connection to the Land. Restoration is our way of returning care to the land that has long sustained us. Join us at Seward Park Audubon Center for Root in Reciprocity: Tend Together. Together, we’ll be engaging in either the removal and repurpose of introduced species, plant native flora, and restore habitats that sustain birds, pollinators, and the broader ecosystem. All tools, guidance, and materials are provided, just bring your curiosity, care, and willingness to get your hands in the soil. Funding for this project provided by the USDA Forest Service, Urban and Community Forestry Program in partnership with State of Washington Department of Natural Resources, Urban and Community Forestry Program. more
