The Port of Seattle, in collaboration with its partners and community members, invites the public to participate in a tree planting event aimed at restoring urban forests. This family-friendly event will take place on Saturday, December 7th, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at a designated Port site previously overrun by invasive blackberry and ivy near SEA airport.

Participants will help plant 250 native trees and shrubs, contributing to the increase of native forest cover and the establishment of a diverse shrub understory. This initiative is part of ongoing efforts to reclaim and enhance urban green spaces, fostering a healthier environment for future generations.

The Port of Seattle will provide all necessary equipment, including gloves and tools, as well as snacks and hot drinks to keep volunteers energized. Participants are encouraged to wear clothes and shoes suitable for outdoor work.

No experience is necessary to join this effort. Volunteers of all ages are welcome to come together, learn about native plants, and contribute to their community.
