SJC is proud to be collaborating for another year with Green Seattle Partnership (GSP), the local chapter of Forterra, for our annual Tu Bishvat tree-planting ceremony and invasive species removal environmental action event.

This year, the event will take place at Meadowbrook Playfield Park in Seattle. Our meetup location will be the southeast corner of the park, near the Meadowbrook Community Center. There will be a woodchip pile, wheelbarrows and a toolbox to help our GSP rep, Jeff Welke, stand out.

Here is our itinerary:

• 9:30am: Registration, check-in and safety overview
• 10am: Tu Bishvat ceremony, with light snacks (fruit and nuts) and juice
• 10:30am: Ceremonial tree-planting
• 11am: Invasive species removal and mulching
• 12:15pm: Cleanup

Registration is required! To learn more and register, click here.

Accessibility information

• Be mindful that it may be raining, making the park grounds soft and muddy, so dress accordingly.
• Gardening tools and gloves will be provided, but the gloves will not be heavy-duty. If you are concerned about thorns or have any plant sensitivities/allergies, but do not want to have to opt out of any removal activities, you may want to bring heavier-duty/specialized gloves to use.
• While there are no paved paths through/around the park, there are heavily-treaded dirt paths that mobility-impaired community members traverse comfortably, but please note that these paths may be unstable if it's recently rained.
• As the community center is closed on Sundays, there are no on-site restrooms available.
• Free parking is available at the community center and along the southside hill street.
• Meadowbrook is served by many bus lines, including 64, 65, 75, 309, 312, 372 and 522.
