King County Parks is inviting volunteers to help restore forest health at White Center Heights Park during a community work party on Saturday, May 9.
The event will run from 9 a.m. to Noon and focus on removing invasive blackberry plants, which can form dense monocultures that crowd out native species, according to the King County Parks Volunteer Program.
Organizers said the effort is aimed at improving the park’s ecosystem and creating space for native plants to thrive. Volunteers of all ages and abilities are welcome to participate, and no prior experience is required.
King County Parks will provide tools, supplies and on site guidance, teaching participants how to safely remove invasive plants and support restoration efforts.
The event also offers an opportunity for community members to connect with neighbors while contributing to the health of a local green space in the White Center area.
Participants are encouraged to register in advance through the King County Parks Volunteer Program website here.
