Walking, weeding, and mulching at McCollum Park

Forest Stewardship - McCollum Park on Sunday, December 7, 12 - 3 PM.

Join community stewards and staff at McCollum Park to care for the forest and North Creek watershed on Sunday, December 7. Please register online to let us know you're coming.

In 2022, volunteers weeded and planted trees and shrubs in the northwest section of the park and have planted annually since then. At this event, participants will focus on weeding around the plantings and applying mulch to the soil. Your contribution will help volunteer leads and staff create a planting plan for this winter.

Please wear long sleeves, long pants and sturdy, closed-toe shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty or snagged on prickly plants. Bring a full water bottle and a snack. Hand tools and gloves will be provided, but you can bring your own if you wish. Remember to bring rain gear if rain is in the forecast.
