Earth Day: Hands in the Land! (DNR)April 22, 10am-12:30pm @ Seward Park Join us this Earth Day for Hands in the Land, a community restoration event dedicated to caring for our local green spaces. Together, we’ll roll up our sleeves and remove invasive English ivy, helping native plants breathe, grow, and reclaim the forest floor. This hands-on volunteer day is a chance to connect with the land, learn about the impacts of invasive species, and support the health of our shared ecosystem. No experience is needed—just a willingness to get a little muddy and make a meaningful difference. We’ll provide tools, gloves, and guidance. You bring your enthusiasm, your curiosity, and your commitment to giving back to the Earth. As we work side by side, we honor the reciprocal relationship between people and place: our hands help the land heal, and the land heals our hands in return—grounding us, teaching us, and reminding us of our shared resilience. Celebrate Earth Day through collective action, community care, and the renewal that comes from restoring the land together. 🌿 Sponsored by: Washington Department of Natural Resources more |

Guided by Indigenous leadership at 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’re tending the Forest Garden, which supports elders, youth, and Indigenous-centered community programs while helping grow 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, be witnessed, be in community, and build relationships. If you’re looking for a place to show up and grow something lasting, this is a space to gather, care for the land, and imagine what’s possible together. more |

Every month, volunteers make a big difference by removing ivy so that trees, bushes, ferns and other native plants have room to grow.
