North SeaTac Park - Last Sunday Forest Recue …07/31/2022

Activities

Help transform a forest. North SeaTac Park is a 200+ urban oasis under the flight paths of SeaTac Airport. The trees here clean, quiet, and cool the air - true guardians of the community!

We'll be working in a corner of the park, under towering poplars and Douglas Fir, that was almost completely overrun with ivy that carpeted the ground and climbed the tree trunks until we began to transform it in early 2021. On Green SeaTac Day this fall, volunteers planted white pine, cedar, snowberries, fringe cup and more on the newly-cleared land.

At this event, we'll work to protect trees and other native plants in previously cleared areas by removing re-emerging weeds. We may expand the cleared area to provide more of a buffer for this previously cleared land.
