Come celebrate by helping remove invasive species and plant new trees and plants in Hillwood Park on Saturday, November 4, from 10am to 2pm.
Hillwood Park, 18947 3rd NW Ave 98177
As part of the work party events, Linden Lampman, Urban Forestry Specialist from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources, will present Mayor Chris Roberts and Park Board Chair Betsy Robertson with the Tree City USA recognition.
Representatives from EarthCorps will be on hand to lead the work party and provide some environmental education along the way. The work party is from 10:00am to 2:00pm.
Join your neighbors and fellow native plant enthusiasts in mulching, removing invasive species, and replacing them with native plants. The Shoreline Parks Department is providing native ground covers, trees, and shrubs for planting.

Feel free to bring a trowel, fork, and/ or loppers if you have them. For more information, email Kirk Peterson or call him at 206- 801-2611.
