Work with EarthCorps and the Green Seattle Partnership and the Friends of Seward Park as we continue to maintain our restoration sites, plant native tree and remove English ivy from this stand of old growth forest right in the city! Home to diverse wildlife and impressive trees, Seward Park is enjoyed by walkers, cyclists, and those who love the outdoors.

English ivy is a threat to the great trees that make Seward Park their home. It is a non-native invasive plant species with no natural predators or pests to keep it under control. The ivy poses a threat to places like Seward Park two ways, by creating "Ivy Deserts" which are areas so dominated by ivy that no other vegetation can survive and by adding weight to trees, making the trees more susceptible to toppling over and to disease. By manually ripping ivy out of the park, we are helping to prevent this invasive species from taking hold and spreading.
