Green Shoreline Planting Event at Hillwood Park on Friday November 14, 2025

Hillwood Park will host a native plant planting event on Friday, November 14, 2025, from 3-4:30 PM as part of Green Shoreline Day. The planting will occur in the wetland garden, which will not be affected by major park improvements set to begin early next year. Community members of all ages are encouraged to participate, and no prior gardening experience is required. Organizers request that participants RSVP online to ensure adequate tools are available for the event. This planting initiative aims to enhance local parks, promote biodiversity, and engage residents in environmental stewardship.

Events like these play a crucial role in fostering community involvement and improving the ecological health of Shoreline. The city has been actively working on various projects to upgrade its parks, which reflects a broader commitment to sustainability. Such activities not only beautify the area but also provide educational opportunities about native plants and their importance in local ecosystems.
