Volunteers are needed to help restore a healthy forest in North SeaTac Park on Sunday, Oct. 15, and Saturday Oct. 21, 2023, from 10 a.m. – Noon both days. Volunteers are asked to meet near S. 128th Street and Des Moines Memorial Dr. S. (map below). North SeaTac Park is a 220-acre urban oasis near SeaTac Airport. Its trees and green spaces clean, quiet, and cool the air, create habitat for wildlife and gathering and play spaces for residents near and far. Over the last few years, volunteers have played a major role in helping to keep this forest healthy by removing invasive weeds and planting native trees.
