6/14 Frink Park

Event Description

Join EarthCorps the Green Seattle Partnership, Friends of Frink Park and the City of Seattle Department of Parks in an effort to protect open spaces from the threat of English ivy, an invasive plant that covers trees and results in a loss of native habitat. We will be installing "Survival Rings" around trees covered with ivy as well as performing restoration site maintenance and monitoring on sites in which we have previously worked. Some projects may include planting native trees and shrubs.

Directions

We encourage volunteers to carpool or utilize public transportation to our events.
