Mapes Creek Watershed Hike

WELCOME TO MAPES CREEK
A land and culture tending practice. An ongoing series to learn the process and be in relationship. Guided by indigenous and Social Forestry principals. In collaboration with Green Seattle Partnership 💚🌲
Trillium offers this justice-oriented container as an opportunity to build connections, learn, practice, heal, create, and weave resilient communities anchored in land and water.
This time we’re going on a walk!
A naturalist-led wander through the Mapes Creek Watershed. An activity that supports feeling a sense of place and connection with our forests and waterways.
To better understand how this precious gem fits in the city’s landscape.
To learn about the history and challenges.
To understand our relationship and responsibility.
To imagine a future of resilience and mutual thriving.
We will start near the Mapes Creek headwaters (South Creston Street SCL substation) and meander through the Kubota Natural area (including the garden), by Sturdivant ravine, and finish at Be’er Sheva Park: the mouth of the creek and the water’s convergence with Lake Washington.
This journey will be a little over 2 miles downhill, with a few short sections of moderate climb. This walk is accessible to folks with moderate ability to move. 50% of the path is unpaved, with some uneven ground. Sturdy ankles are a must! Youth and children are enthusiastically invited.
Spots are limited to ensure rich experience for everyone 👂
