Join the City of Bellevue and EarthCorps as we make this a DAY ON (not a day off) while helping the forest of Eastgate Park!
The Basics
EarthCorps and City of Bellevue Natural Resources Division will supply gloves, tools, water and snack bars. We will teach you everything you need to know about tool use, safety, forest health, and the importance of the work you will be doing. No experience necessary, just come ready to learn something new! Be sure to sign in at registration when you arrive.
This video may give you a better idea of what to expect.
