More than 220 community members came together to pull invasive weeds and restore Seward Park on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. These stewards included students from University of Washington, Seattle University and Seattle elementary schools and churches, and were fed lunch by youth from the Religious Institute of Seattle. This Seward Park Reforestation project was led by Seattle Parks and Recreation’s Jillian Weed in partnership with the Seward Park Audubon Center staff and Seward Stewards, Friends of Seward Park, and Green Seattle Partnership.
