Volunteer with UW Botanic Gardens! For anyone looking to get their hands dirty and gain some restoration experience, we will be removing blackberry in the meadow at the entrance to Yesler Swamp. Please bring leather gloves if you have them and wear heavy-duty clothes, including appropriate footwear, to protect from thorns. All tools will be provided. Don't forget your water bottle!

We will be meeting at the west entrance to the Douglas Research Conservatory before heading out to our work site.

Registration REQUIRED. Use the UW Botanic Gardens volunteer registration portal and select "UBNA Restoration Volunteer" at the bottom of the page. If you have any questions feel free to contact Sloane Palmer, horticulturist at the Center for Urban Horticulture, at sapalmer@uw.edu.
