Volunteer Event: Pioneer Park

Work with EarthCorps and the City of Mercer Island Parks and Recreation Dept. to help restore Pioneer Park! Pioneer Park is 113 acres of forested habitat, the largest forested park on Mercer Island. This park is home to over 70 bird species and 12 different mammals, and offers the most extensive trail system on the island. The restoration goals for this park include planting native conifer trees; removing non-native plants, such as ivy, that prevent native plants from growing; and site maintenance activities.

Where: The NW Corner of Island Crest Way and SE 68th St.

If you are under 18 years of age: go to miparks.net and click on volunteer opportunities. The Volunteer Activity-Youth Form needs to be signed by a parent.

Snacks, tools, and gloves will be provided!
