Temple De Hirsch Sinai Summer Forest Restoration
Sunday, July 24, 2022
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Angle Lake Park
Get your hands dirty, help the Earth, and connect with our community. Our forest restoration work continues! Join Shomrei Adamah/Guardians at Angle Lake Park in Seatac to care for native plants, weed, and spread mulch to ensure the plants can thrive. Everyone welcome and no experience necessary.
Following our morning work, volunteers are invited to stay and enjoy the park with our community. There is a lake/beach, spray park, playground, and picnic areas. Bring a picnic lunch for yourself!
