About:
Tualatin Public Library's mission is to empower and enrich our community through learning, discovery, and
interaction.
Project Description:
The City of Tualatin enjoys many parks, trails, wetlands, and green-ways. Keep these areas vibrant by planting and mulching native trees and shrubs. Join the City of Tualatin and Friends of Trees in observing Martin Luther King Day of Service at Hedges Creek in Ibach Park and make a positive impact on the environment.
By putting down roots in Tualatin, you can . . . Get dirty, breathe fresh air, meet new people, get a sense of achievement and impact the health of our environment as you plant and mulch 1500 native trees and shrubs to shade the stream and improve forest diversity
Individuals, families and groups are invited to register for one or many of the opportunities offered this spring. Tools, gloves, water, snacks and guidance by City Staff are provided.
