April 11, 2026 – 9am – 1pm – Second Saturday Habitat Restoration at Kiwanis Ravine Corridor in Magnolia
We’ll be grubbing out blackberry root crowns and spreading mulch to prevent regrowth. The main blackberry stalks will already be cut!
Volunteers are welcome to join for any length of time. We’ll provide tools, gloves, and light snacks—just bring a full water bottle and wear clothes that can get muddy or snagged. No experience necessary, just enthusiasm for helping wildlife habitat thrive!
Designated as Seattle Parks’ first official Wildlife Sanctuary in 2010, Kiwanis Ravine is adjacent to Seattle’s largest Great Blue Heron colony—just a short walk from our work site! For those interested, we’d love to lead a short tour after the event.
Be Part of a Forest’s Future!
Lend a hand in restoring forest habitats and supporting their journey toward becoming vibrant, self-sustaining woodlands. By caring for these ecosystems, you’ll help fight climate change, as trees naturally absorb and store carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. Healthy forests provide food, shelter, and safe spaces for birds and wildlife to raise their young—making your efforts vital for both nature and the planet.
We’ll be working at the Ohman section of Kiwanis Ravine in Magnolia. We’ll remove weeds to help natives we’ve already planted get established. Come for a a while or stay the whole time. We’re a friendly, easy-going bunch.
No experience needed—everyone is welcome. Perfect way to get a start on student service hours.
