Duwamish Hill Preserve - Earth Month Blackberry and Ivy Removal

Activities

We're excited to invite you to volunteer with us for a special Earth Month event at Duwamish Hill Preserve, a Tukwila park providing critical wildlife habitat and public trails in the middle of an industrial area. Join us on Friday, April 17th, from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm, to restore essential wildlife habitat by removing Himalayan blackberries that threaten our local native trees, shrubs, and groundcover. Established native plants benefit local wildlife, improve water quality, and enhance air quality.

You will also gain valuable insights into ecological restoration and our innovative approach to land conservation. We'll start with a walk of the site and Earth Day-themed trivia and have restoration professionals on hand to answer questions about plants, restoration, and the Green Tukwila Partnership and Forterra.
