Activities

Join us for planting, weed pulling, and restoration at Salmon Creek Park! We'll be placing a bunch of native plants like ground covers, shrubs, and trees, removing weeds, like English ivy and stinky Bob, enjoying some tunes, and getting some dirt under those fingernails.

We’ll cover forest health, tool use and safety. No experience necessary; just come ready to get a little dirty, help your community, and restore this land.
