On our daily commute or walk through Tacoma, what are we overlooking? What small pockets of nature and less common plants are easily missed as we go about our busy lives in a constantly changing landscape? Join our tree walk at War Memorial Park to take another look at the city, and notice the little things that we ordinarily pass by without second thought, like black tupelo and other amazing plants! We’ll contemplate how we live and interact with our environment while surrounded by the busyness of the highways and traffic that dominate our urban habitat. Slow down to notice trees and species that don’t ordinarily stand out.

Our walks happen rain or shine so come prepared with the appropriate clothing to have the best walk experience. We’ll be walking on a paved path and sidewalk. Make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes.
