Point Defiance Park Work Party at Service Road near Mildred Street Exit!
Details
Description
🌿 Help Restore Point Defiance Park! 🌿
Join us for a volunteer Work Party to remove invasive Himalayan blackberries and help protect the natural beauty of Point Defiance Park!
These fast-growing canes crowd out native plants, reduce healthy wildlife habitat, and make it harder for our forests to thrive. By spending a few hours clearing blackberries, you'll make a lasting difference for one of our community's most treasured parks.
🌱 What to Expect:
- Work alongside fellow volunteers.
- Learn about native ecosystems and invasive species.
- Get some fresh air, exercise, and a chance to give back.
- No experience necessary—tools and guidance will be provided.
Whether you're a longtime volunteer or helping for the first time, everyone is welcome.
Wear sturdy shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, gloves if you have them, and a reusable water bottle.
Together, we can restore habitat, protect native plants, and keep Point Defiance Park healthy for generations to come.
Join us and be part of the solution—one blackberry cane at a time!
