 This west Seattle landmark is one of the city's largest and most popular parks. Its 135 acres are home to ballfields, playgrounds, trails, shoreline, and forest. We must act now to preserve the forests of the park for the enjoyment of future generations. Invasive species like English Ivy and Himalayan Blackberry are choking out native vegetation and are bringing early deaths to Lincoln's trees.
Join EarthCorps and the Green Seattle Partnership as we work to make the forests and shoreline of Lincoln Park healthy! Our projects will include invasive plant removal, preparing areas for planting native plants, and planting native plants. Court-ordered community service volunteers are accepted. Youth volunteers are welcome.
EarthCorps provides gloves, tools, and light snacks. We work rain or shine, so please come dressed for the weather. We recommend that volunteers wear long pants, bring a long sleeved shirt, and wear sturdy closed toe shoes. We will be taking a break around noon, so if you'd like to bring a lunch feel free. The minimum age for this opportunity is 5 years and older. This opportunity is sponsored by: EarthCorps
