Soapbox gets its hands dirty with Dirt Corps
Let's get outside and get our hands dirty with Dirt Corps and Trees for Seattle. Dirt Corps’ mission is to create access to green careers for all people, working towards a healthy environment, engaged communities, and a sustainable economy throughout the Puget Sound region. Amazing! They also facilitate land restoration work parties combined with education on tree care. Let's join them to care for trees in Martha Washington Park.
Soapbox Project is a third place, hosting events every Tuesday for climate solutions and community building. But we also want to get together and do things outside of Tuesdays. We'll connect with nature while improving outdoor community spaces like Martha Washington Park.
Who: All ages and skill levels are welcome!
What: We will learn about Morning Glory and other harmful weeds, their history, how they relate to the ecosystem, and how best to remove them to allow our trees and native plants to thrive. We’ll then practice these skills while caring for the natural beauty of this cherished park and keeping its trees healthy and happy.
Where: Martha Washington Park in SE Seattle
When: 10:00 AM
Why: At Soapbox we often talk about how the land we meet on has been stewarded by the Duwamish people for millennia. This is a way that we can continue to honor and emulate that tradition by restoring healthy habitats for future generations.
Bring: Please wear clothing that can get dirty, including long sleeves, long pants, and closed-toed shoes. We’ll be working rain or shine, so everyone is encouraged to dress for the weather and wear layers if you can. Dirt Corps will provide the tools, gloves, snacks, hot drinks, and water.
