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.
