Forterra Fridays: March 2026

Friday, Mar. 20, 2026, 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm

We’re excited to invite you to volunteer with us at Crestview Park, a beloved community gathering space in Tukwila featuring dog play areas, trails, and natural landscapes. Join us on March 20, from 1:00-3:30 PM, to restore essential habitat by removing ivy and Himalayan blackberries that threaten our local native trees, shrubs, and groundcover. Established native plants benefit local wildlife, improve water quality, and enhance air quality. 

You will also gain valuable insights into ecological restoration and our innovative approach to land conservation. We’ll start with a walk of the site and have restoration professionals on hand to answer questions about plants, restoration, and habitat management. 

What we are doing: Crestview Park provides critical habitat restoration opportunities alongside its popular amenities. By removing invasive ivy and blackberries, we ensure that native plants can thrive, supporting the park’s ecological health while maintaining the community spaces that make this park so valued by Tukwila residents. 

What to bring: Please dress for the weather (in layers to stay warm/dry). Snacks, drinks, tools, and gloves will all be provided.

Where to park: Park in the Crestview Park parking lot (16200 42nd Avenue South). Signs direct you from the parking lot to where we will meet.

Date and Time: Friday, March 20, 2026, 1:00 –3:30 PM
