Forest Restoration Work Party

Please join volunteers, EarthCorps, and UW Restoration Ecology Network students for our forest restoration work party! Did you know that March 14-20 is National Wildlife Week? Healthy forests have many positive functions, including improving human health and well-being, and providing an enhanced habitat for beneficial wildlife, such as birds and butterflies. An EarthCorps crew will be leading invasive plant removal activities and UW REN students will be leading two groups to install native plants.

Light Refreshments and Tools will be provided. =20

Suitable for: Adults, Teens, and Families. Minors under the age of 14 years must be accompanied by an adult. Minors 14 to 17 years should be accompanied by an adult, or bring a signed waiver form, or bring a parent/guardian to sign you in. Youth waiver forms can be obtained in advance from GKP Volunteer Waiver Form or through EarthCorps.

Please sign up at the EarthCorps website. Advance signup is important for planning purposes; however, volunteers who show up on the day are also welcome. Please allow time to find parking and to sign in. Please contact Chris LaPointe if you have questions about the event, chris@earthcorps.org.
