Earth Day Volunteer Events

Local Forest Stewards need hands-on help removing noxious weeds in our parks to create healthy habitats for wildlife and a cleaner watershed for all!

Tukwila’s parks are like giant sponges that soak up dirty water from roadways and air pollution, filter it, and restore clean air and water. The more trees and native plants, the more pollution can be filtered out. Join us!

Here are some upcoming activities you can participate in around this coming Earth Day.

All work parties provide tools & training onsite; all identities are welcome.
