Burien Green Teens Action Day at Hilltop Park

Hey, Burien youth: Join us for a fun, free event this summer! Help restore Hilltop Park in Burien, to do a restoration project, explore green careers, and meet new friends. No experience necessary! We will have tools, gloves, training, and lunch for everyone who attends. If you join us on Thursday, August 28 at Salmon Creek Ravine, you’ll get to explore green careers after lunch.

This event is free to attend.

For safety, volunteers are required to wear:

• Long pants (we’ll be working with tools, so no shorts!)
• Sturdy, close-toed shoes (absolutely no sandals)
• Gloves (provided)

In addition, we recommend that participants bring:

• Sun protection, including a hat and sunscreen
• A full water bottle

Volunteers will find street parking near the park along 128th St. Bus #132 stops right in front of Hilltop Park. Look for Greenway staff to direct you.

The Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust is working with the City of Burien to restore habitat at Hilltop Park. This neighborhood park includes a grassy field, a loop trail, and a forested slope leading toward Miller Creek, a salmon-bearing stream. Much of the slope was previously dominated by Himalayan blackberry and other non-native weeds. Volunteers will help continue the restoration work by removing weeds and planting native trees and shrubs to support a healthier, more resilient forest habitat.
