Description

Sign-up Link: https://seattle.greencitypartnerships.org/event/21431/ It's World Nature Conservation Day and Dirt Corps is CELEBRATING! Join us for a restoration event with a focus on our Westcrest Park superstars- our Madrone Trees! We'll be learning about Madrone's unique talents and how they contribute to our local ecology. A Special Guest Teacher is TBA, and we'll have more curriculum updates as we get closer to the event! The beginning of this volunteer event will include a brief weed ID. Combine knowledge with action as we work to clear this beautiful space of harmful species that overtake the area. Many of you might already have this experience in your own backyard! Dirt Corps leads volunteer parties at Westcrest every month. Get outside and learn about restoration methods while improving the health of a forested neighborhood park! Follow us on Facebook and Instagram and www.thedirtcorps.com for event announcements! WHAT TO BRING: Please bring with you what you will need to be comfortable whilst spending a few hours working outside. Dress in clothed layers for the weather, and consider bringing additional dry, insulating, or waterproof layers. Remember to bring water, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, or any other accessories to protect yourself from the elements. Remember that blackberry thorns are sharp and can snag clothing, and that the terrain may be uneven and/or wet. We will be providing gloves and tools for all to use!
