(WSB photo)Forest-restoration work parties are typically in or near the woods. Volunteers came to a wide-open site on the South Seattle College Georgetown campus – one with a memorable history – to plant the future Georgetown Community Forest. SSC (a WSB sponsor) is partnering with the non-profit SUGi Urban Forestry Project, the Duwamish Tribe, the Duwamish River Community Coalition, and volunteers from the college and community to transform what was once the Hat ‘n’ Boots gas station (see and read about it here) into the Georgetown Community Forest. (SSC photo)Other community volunteering events will be held there to help care for the site as it begins its return to foresthood. Read more about the plan here.
