Volunteer to help our local parks and forests in Puyallup with Pierce Conservation District!

What will volunteers be doing at the event?

While the exact tasks at hand vary, our projects focus on improving the open spaces, forests, and parks in our local cities.  Healthy ecosystems and thriving forests are vital to our community because they absorb and naturally filter rain water, produce clean oxygen, provide living spaces for wildlife, and create a place for people to connect with the outdoors.

In order to create healthy forests and riparian zones, the work can include:

• Planting healthy trees and shrubs

• Removing invasive species of plants

  • Reed Canary Grass

  • Himalayan Blackberry

  • English Ivy

  • Etc.

• Caring for existing and previous plantings

Active Sites:

• Silver Creek, Puyallup.

• Deadmans Pond, Puyallup.

• Bradley Lake Park, Puyallup.

• Pioneer Place II, Puyallup.

• Meeker Creek, Puyallup.

• Whittier Park, Fircrest.

For your safety and comfort please bring:

• Clothing that can get dirty

• Long pants and sleeves

• Sturdy shoes (closed toed shoes required, no sandals or flats)

• Rain gear and warm layers (the event will happen rain or shine)

• Full water bottle!
