Celebrate Both Green Tacoma Day and Arbor Day

Green Tacoma Day is an annual celebration of the Green Tacoma Partnership’s work to restore 1,881 acres of urban green space. The service day offers great opportunities for the Tacoma community to get to know each other and preserve our local green spaces.

On Arbor Day, Tacoma celebrates 20 years as a Tree City USA community and Tacoma Public Utility’s 10th year as a Tree Line USA agency. 

The festivities will provide educational and family-friendly activities at Wright Park and restoration projects across the city. All community members are welcome and no experience is needed to participate. 

Restoration activities will range from removing weeds and invasive plants to planting native trees and shrubs at locations across Tacoma:

• First Creek
• Franklin Park
• Garfield Gulch
• Gog le hi te Wetlands
• Julia’s Gulch
• McKinley Park
• Oak Tree Park
• Pacific Lutheran University
• Puget Creek
• Swan Creek
• Tacoma Nature Center
• Tacoma Community College
• Wapato Hills Urban Wildlife Habitat.
• Wright Park - activities that celebrate trees and the fall colors are planned for those who do not want to get their hands dirty.
