21 Lizard Haven weeding, seeding and treeing January 21, 9:30am-12:30pm @ Discovery Park Weeding can be a perfect opportunity for new weeds to colonize the disturbed soil, but we are going to counteract this contradiction by spreading some fast-growing native seeds such as lupine, mugwort, cow parsnip and gumweed. This will have the added benefit of shading out blackberry as they grow. more

22 Daybreak Star Forest Garden Land Tending: Tending Our Future January 22, 11am-2:30pm @ Daybreak Star These gatherings are a return—to land, to care, and to being in right relationship with one another. Guided by Indigenous leadership at United Indians of All Tribes Foundation, we come together to practice food sovereignty, cultural memory, and collective care in grounded, real ways. This week, we’ll be planting and preparing a root garden—tending camas and other relatives that feed both people and possibility. The Forest Garden supports elders, youth, and Indigenous-centered community programs, and helps grow a future rooted in reciprocity and care. Alongside the land work, we’re preparing for an optional book and film series in partnership with The Seattle Public Library Foundation. February–March readings include M-Archive by Alexis Pauline Gumbs and Hospicing Modernity by Vanessa Machado de Oliveira. Both are available on Libby and Audible, and hard copies will be available for those who’d like to pick one up. Participation is flexible: land work will always be happening, whether or not you choose to join discussions or arts practices. You’re welcome to come just to tend the land, move your body, and be in community. If you’re looking for a place to show up, build relationships, and imagine what’s possible together, this is a space to gather, care for the land, and grow something lasting. more

25 Friends of Discovery Park at Capehart January 25, 10am-1pm @ Discovery Park 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. Discovery Park now 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 will focus our January 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 in January. Your hands-on help makes a real difference in the health and future of Discovery Park’s newest forests. 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. more

25 Mapes Creek Path Tending January 25, 10am-2pm @ Kubota Gardens Natural Area We spent last summer getting introduced to the land, the creek, and the way humans and creatures move around and interact. To continue this introduction and be able to move more clearly and safely, we want to better define the foot paths. Some come move some mulch with us! The perfect activity for chilly days. We'll also be moving sticks, gently pruning, and digging up some buttercup. One of Trillium's goals is nurture and build a culture of land care founded on understanding the impact and function of what we do in a relational way. There will be spacious time to learn about path tending, mulching, and everything in between! We will open with a site tour and project introduction this project and what it offers in the realm of re-indigenizing land stewardship.
