Meet Point Defiance Zoo Parking Lot D (view map)
Register online via MyImpact
Join us for a volunteer Work Party to remove Himalayan blackberries and help protect the natural beauty of Point Defiance Park! These fast-growing canes crowd out native plants, reduce healthy wildlife habitat, and make it harder for our forests to thrive. By spending a few hours clearing blackberries, you’ll make a lasting difference for one of our community’s most treasured parks.
What You’ll Do
Remove unwanted weeds
Care for newly planted native plants
Learn about local ecology and restoration practices
Have fun working with fellow nature lovers
What to Bring
Wear sturdy shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and bring a water bottle. Tools, gloves, and training provided.
Where to Meet
Please meet at Point Defiance Zoo Parking Lot D and we’ll walk over as a group to the work party.
Where to Park
Free parking is available at the Point Defiance Zoo Parking Lot D.
