On Tuesday, we had the privilege of partnering with EarthCorps to plant over 150 native species at Sacajawea Playground in Seattle, located near a local elementary school. EarthCorps does incredible work through community partnerships to advance environmental justice and restore local ecosystems.

By planting native species, we're helping to create sustainable, resilient green spaces that benefit our community and local wildlife. Together, we’re making small but impactful steps towards a healthier, greener Seattle! 🌱

Thank you to everyone who helped make this day a success!
