Have you ever noticed the green space along the 45th street and the Burke-Gilman trail? Have you ever been inside this forest?

Kincaid Ravine is a 2.2 acre urban forest located in the northeast corner of campus. Currently, it is dominated by invasive species and deciduous trees that are coming to the end of their natural lifespan. It is a declining forest that is gradually losing the ability to perform important ecological functions.

However, it is going to change! A restoration project is currently happening on the site and we need your help to restore the place to a beautiful and healthy campus forest.

Please join us for the following upcoming work parties this winter quarter! Tools, gloves, and refreshments will be provided at each event:
