Friends of Lewis Park would like to thank all the volunteers who braved the windy conditions last Saturday for Green Seattle Day!

Lewis Park is an old growth forest which means that during high winds there is potential for falling branches. Due to safety concerns, we decided to reschedule our Green Seattle Day event at Lewis Park for this Saturday, November 19th and Sunday, November 20th. This is great news for those who missed out last Saturday!


​Please register online so that we know how many volunteers to expect:
Saturday, November 19, 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Sunday, November 20, 9 a.m. – 12 p.m.

Friends of Lewis Park will provide coffee, hot chocolate, snacks, tools, gloves, and guidance. We will meet both days at the Daejeon Park Pagoda 1144 Sturgus Ave. S. Free street parking is available along Sturgus Ave. S on both sides of the street.

What is Green Seattle Day?
Green Seattle Day is Green Seattle Partnership’s largest annual community event that brings together hundreds of volunteers to plant thousands of plants in parks throughout Seattle. The 2015 Green Seattle Day brought out almost 800 volunteers to 16 different forested parks in our city to plant a total of 5,896 trees and other plants.

This fun half day event is open to all ages and all community members are welcome. Come get involved in planting the next generation of forests in our community. No previous experience is necessary!

FREE LUNCH and prizes will be provided at the Green Seattle Day Hub, Camp Long, after-party for all Green Seattle Day volunteers.

What will be happening at Lewis Park for Green Seattle Day?
At Lewis Park, we’re particularly looking forward to teaching volunteers about the:

• Community’s involvement in restoration efforts at Lewis Park
• Basics of setting tree and plant starts up for success at Lewis Park
• Next steps for the continued restoration and care of Lewis Park

Volunteers will have the opportunity to plant native ground covers, shrubs and trees in the southern section of Lewis Park. This plays a critical role in the restoration of Lewis Park as it helps slow or stop the return of invasive plant species that negatively impact the health of the natural area.

Friends of Lewis Park will provide snacks, tools, gloves, and guidance – we hope to see you on November 12th! Getting involved is easy, just sign up online to help us know how many volunteers to expect.
