Burke Gilman Trail

This is an exciting project for us to partner with the Seattle Parks Department, the GreenSEATTLE partnership, and Friends of the Burke Gilman. As many of us know, the Burke Gilman Trail is a major recreation and commuter corridor that joins with the Sammamish River trail in Redmond. While the trail is magnificent and provides terrific habitat for song birds and small mammals, invasive plants are extensive along the trail and provides a corridor for them to spread.

With this project, will will work on removing some of these invasive plants and plant hundreds of native trees and shrubs along the trail corridor, thereby improving habitat and species diversity. Tools will be provided, although please bring gloves if you have them. We will begin at 10:00 am and go until about 2:00 pm (probably more like 1:30ish when all the plants are installed). Please dress appropriately for the weather including appropriate foot wear (no sandals). All ages are welcome.
