The community is invited to participate in a forest restoration project at Wilburton Hill Park on Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Monday, Jan. 15, 9 a.m.-noon). Learn more and register in advance with the project cosponsor EarthCorps.
Bellevue’s estimated 1.4 million trees provide health and economic benefits, increase property values and traffic safety, reduce crime, limit stormwater runoff and improve water quality.
In keeping with the holiday’s status as a national day of service, up to 100 volunteers will remove invasive plants such as English Ivy and plant native trees, shrubs and ground cover in the Wilburton park’s understory. The number of volunteers will be limited.
The city and EarthCorps will provide gloves and tools. Wilburton Hill Park is located at 12400 Main St.
