Volunteers are invited to join the Port of Seattle, its partners, and community members to plant native trees to restore our urban forests from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 22, 2025.
Participants will plant trees and shrubs at a Port site previously overtaken by invasive blackberry and ivy.
The trees planted will increase native forest cover with a native shrub understory.
The Port will provide snacks, hot drinks, gloves, and tools.
Clothes and shoes appropriate for working outdoors are recommended.
This event is family-friendly, and no experience is necessary.
