Join Trees for Seattle and Dirt Corps for December's wrap-up tree care event at Meadowbrook Pond! We'll continue our efforts to enhance tree health in the Meadowbrook Pond ecosystem by removing harmful English ivy from mature trees and applying mulch around them to keep them healthy through the winter. We'll also take the chance to learn how to use fallen leaves and branches as mulch in your own yard. At dusk the Luminaria Walk at Meadowbrook Pond begins, a magical annual event where volunteers place 900 bags of lights, create a bandstand, and welcome community to stroll around the pond and enjoy a light and music-filled evening. There will be treats and hot drinks!

Dirt Corps and the Georgetown Youth Council invite you to join us for a community gathering at Gateway Park North, a local riverside park that we have worked for years to restore and enhance. We will be caring for the lovely poplar trees and learning about the value of added tree canopy in industrial areas. We will also be winterizing the garden beds and rain gardens by removing weeds and tucking our plants in with mulch. We want to make sure this place is snug for the winter season!
