Bellevue will be celebrating Arbor Day later this month with a tree planting at Bannerwood Park. This event is run by Environmental Stewardship Volunteering of Bellevue.
The city is looking for volunteers who will help with the event who will plant native trees including Pacific willow, Oregon ash, and Sitka spruce. These trees will help to bring habitat back to the park. Members of the community will also remove harmful weeds. Such efforts have many long-lasting and positive efforts for a forest such as this one. Flyer printing is often used to provide more details about their benefits for the community.
The city will supply all equipment, materials, and tools. Volunteers are asked to wear sturdy closed-toed shoes or boots, work gloves, layers of comfortable clothes, and long pants, and should bring snacks and a bottle of water.
Bellevue has celebrated Arbor Day-Earth Day in the spring for many years but is moving the celebration to the fall as this is an ideal time for planting trees. A goal of the Environmental Stewardship Plan of the city is to preserve the existing canopy of trees in the city and form partnerships so that 75,000 trees can be planted in the area in the next 30 years.
This Arbor Day event will take place beginning at 8:45 am on Saturday, October 22.
