Restoration at Riverton Park
2024-07-09 11:30 - 13:30 | Riverton Park
Riverton Park is a beautiful community park with picnic tables, a playground, Gully Gardens P-Patch, and a walking loop with a natural border that offers something for everyone.
The natural plant board of the park has largely established mature trees that support wildlife, reduce pollutants in the air, and help to bring shade on hot days. Unfortunately, these trees are in danger due to English ivy, which grows aggressively and chokes out native plants and trees. The good news is YOU ARE HERE to help; as a community, we can save these trees and install a healthy native forest; plus, it is a ton of fun!
Bucket watering the young forest will be a large part of this work party.
All tools, materials, and training will be provided at the start of the work party.
All ages OK
Click here to register.
What to Bring
Bring a full water bottle, snacks for yourself, weather-appropriate clothes, and closed-toed shoes. If you have garden gloves, please bring them.
Where to Meet
Riverton Park: 13263 Macadam Rd S, Tukwila, WA 98168
Work parties are taking place next to the Gully Gardens P-Patch on the lower section of the park. You will see a 6ft toolbox (JOBOX) meet there.

Restore Tukwila Park with EarthCorps
2024-07-13 10:00 - 13:00 | Tukwila Park, 15460 65th Avenue South, Tukwila, 98188
Join us at Tukwila Park to remove non-native plants like English Ivy and Himalayan Blackberry.
Tukwila Park is a 6.5 acre park site and was built in 1934 – the oldest of the Tukwila parks. The site is covered with mature vegetation, which includes large firs and a variety of Rhododendrons.
The Basics
Registration is required. EarthCorps supplies gloves, tools, water and snack bars. We will teach you everything you need to know! 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.
For your safety and comfort please bring:

Clothing that can get dirty (because it will!)
Clothing that will protect your legs against prickly plants (no shorts, please)
Sturdy shoes that can handle some mud (closed toed shoes are required such as work boots, hiking boots, rubber boots, etc. NO sandals, flats, or heels)
Rain gear and warm layers -OR- sun protection (check the weather!)
Sack lunch and snacks (to refuel)
Full water bottle (we will have a jug on-site for re-fills)
Travel mug for tea/coffee
If you have a favorite pair of gloves, feel free to bring them (otherwise we’re happy to provide a pair)

The event will happen rain or shine!
** CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP **

What will volunteers be doing at the event?
While the exact tasks can vary, our projects focus on improving the forests and parks in our local cities. Healthy and thriving forests are vital to our community because they absorb and filter rain water, produce clean oxygen, provide living spaces for wildlife, and create a place for people to connect with the outdoors.
In order to help create healthy forests and green spaces, the work can include, but is not limited to:

Removing weeds (like Ivy or Blackberry)
Maintaining areas where these weeds have been removed (weeding or spreading mulch)
Planting trees and shrubs during the rainy season (often ~Oct.-Feb.)

Groups
If you are coming as a group, the group leaders are expected to have an active role in our events. After registering your group, please get in touch with volunteer@earthcorps.org to make sure everything is in order. On the day of the event, make yourself known to the staff (in bright yellow vests) and arrive early in order to help guide your group members.
Youth Policy
Youth under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or responsible adult. All volunteers between the ages of 14 and 17 that are not with a parent or guardian must print and bring a filled out Youth Waiver the day of the event.
Youth and school groups are welcome to attend; leaders should contact the Volunteer Team to take care of all necessary preparations.
Directions
Tukwila Park is located at:
15460 65th Ave S
Tukwila, WA 98188
There is a small parking lot as well as nearby street parking.

CPR Awareness and Job Fair
2024-07-13 10:00 - 17:00 | ShoWare Arena, 625 W James St, Kent, WA, 98032
Join us for a free event at the accesso ShoWare Center in Kent.
There will be CPR awareness training for all ages (non-certification / no card provided). Visit with members from local public sector agencies about careers with police, fire, public works, information technology, and more! Visit the City of Tukwila booth for employment information!
Studies have shown that the chances of surviving a cardiac arrest (heart stops beating) increases significantly when CPR is administered prior to emergency services arriving. CPR is an emergency lifesaving procedure that can greatly increase the chance of survival after cardiac arrest, when performed immediately. It involves performing chest compressions to keep oxygenated blood flowing through the body.
When a person is in cardiac arrest, for every minute CPR is delayed there is a decrease in their chance of survival by 10%.
In 2023, within the Puget Sound Fire response area:

The cardiac arrest survival rate was 56%.
Community members initiated CPR in 79% of cardiac arrest response calls. Many

of these people were trained in CPR and others were given CPR instructions from
a 911 dispatcher.

447 community members took a CPR/AED certification class.

We hope to see you there on July 13!
