Green Tukwila Partnership
Description
Daniel Hachet
dhachet@forterra.org, We're excited to invite you to volunteer with us at Crestview Park, a beloved community gathering space in Tukwila featuring dog play areas, trails, and natural landscapes. Join us on March 20, from 1:00-3:30, to restore essential habitat by removing ivy and Himalayan blackberries that threaten our local native trees, shrubs, and groundcover. Established native plants benefit local wildlife, improve water quality, and enhance air quality.
You will also gain valuable insights into ecological restoration and our innovative approach to land conservation. We'll start with a walk of the site and have restoration professionals on hand to answer questions about plants, restoration, and habitat management.
What we are doing: Crestview Park provides critical habitat restoration opportunities alongside its popular amenities. By removing invasive ivy and blackberries, we ensure that native plants can thrive, supporting the park's ecological health while maintaining the community spaces that make this park so valued by Tukwila residents.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Please DO NOT sign up to volunteer at any in-person events if you are sick or believe that you have any symptoms of COVID-19. We would never want to put our members at risk in any way, and there are plenty of virtual or at-home ways to earn hours this semester. If you choose to volunteer in-person, make sure you follow all state and county coronavirus guidelines and stay safe when volunteering!
​
Additionally, please do NOT skip class to attend events. If an event takes place during school hours, only volunteer if you're in Running Start/have an alternative schedule that doesn't cause you to skip class!
