This past winter, volunteers planted 44 trees along the Burke-Gilman Trail across the street from Lake Forest Park's City Hall. Now that the summer is heating up, tree watering bags and weeding are needed to ensure that the plantings succeed.

Come join Lake Forest Park residents and City Arborist Mike Woodbury at a volunteer planting event Saturday, June 18th. Learn about tree maintenance and care while doing your part to enhance our urban forest. These volunteer hours can count toward Shoreline School District volunteer requirements.

All necessary tools will be provided by the City of Lake Forest Park, but bring gardening gloves if you have them. The event is rain-or-shine, so dress appropriately! Volunteers will meet on the Burke-Gilman Trail, roughly across from Starbucks on Bothell Way in Town Center at 9:15am.
