In March 2017, the Tukwila City Council adopted a 20 -year Stewardship Plan and the Green Tukwila
Program (GTP) initiative soon followed. In 2018 and 2019, with support from KCD funding, staff initiated the
first steps towards developing the Green Tukwila Program. Throughout the past two years, the program has
Printed Orr 21 July 2.020 rvle [Tiber' Grarkt. Prognarn,
Stephanie Garcknerkt'lkrowri. Tukwila
gained momentum, positive attention, and demonstrated the need for staff support. Tukwila Parks and
Recreation had one staff member who has dedicated .5 FTE towards developing GTP and the work that was
accomplished has been imp re S sive : 2,024 volunteer hours, 134,128 square feet of invasive plants removed,
and 847 native plants placed.
2020 has presented unique challenges however staff have continued work with stewards and have been
developing education and outreach materials to sustain the work that has been accomplished. Work loads
continue to be shifted to support GTP - one .75 FTE dedicates nearly 75% of their workload towards
continued support and development of the program. The City desires to expand existing staff hours for the
program and is requesting KCD funds to add an additional .25 FTE. Additional funding will allow increased
focused development and program expansion over the next two years. In 2018/2019 one staffperson
dedicated 20 hours per week towards the program, in 2020/2021 the City is requesting the additional
funding so this staff person can dedicate 30 hours per week towards GTP efforts. Additionally, existing city
budget will be used to contract professional crew days, purchase small tools and equipment, and support
events, outreach, and educational materials.
The allocation of staff time for this program will allow staff to further develop and expand the Green
Tukwila Program. Outcomes and objectives for 2020-2021 are as follows:
▪ Adding two additional Green Tukwila Program sites, bringing the total to five sites: The two additional
sites are Duwamish Hill Preserve and Tukwila Pond.
- Duwamish Hill Preserve (DHP) has had a dedicated group of park neighbors performing ongoing
stewardship and maintenance of the 10 acre preserve for several years. Formalizing DHP as a Green
Tukwila site will create an opportunity for staff to seek a business partners that can support Friends of the
Hill stewardship efforts. Work at DHP focuses on reilloving invasive plants, planting native plants, and
weeding.
- Tukwila Pond is a 25 -acre park located in the middle of the Southcenter Urban District and is a
hidden gem that has seen better days. Stewardship work will focus on restoration and invasive plant
removal: English Ivy and Himalayan Blackberry. Staff are confident surrounding businesses will be
interested in becoming stewards as there has been significant expressed interest in this park.
▪ Develop an Adopt -a -Spot program. Due to Covid-19 hosting traditional work parties are not feasible.
Staff will develop opportunities for individuals, household groups, and small groups to adopt -a -spot.
Activities will include invasive plant removal, weeding, and/or litter removal. Staff will work to connect
participants with GTP site stewards or assign spots within parks and trails of future GTP sites. This program
will contribute to the Green Tukwila volunteer database and when larger work parties are permitted again,
Adopt -a -Spot participants will be linked to future opportunities.
• Events: Staff will conduct events in 2021 that will incorporate opportunities for education and
capacity building. The Backyard Wildlife Festival, which has occurred for 19 years in Tukwila, will become an
official Green Tukwila sanctioned event and will incorporate a stronger focus on native plants, native animals,
and the habitats that they thrive in. Additionally, the annual Green Tukwila Day event will expand to
include micro events at other Green Tukwila sites when group gatherings are permitted again. If group
gatherings are not feasible, staff will work with partners to develop content and media that supports
restoration and stewardship efforts throughout Tukwila.
The overarching goal is to continue to grow the Green Tukwila Program with an emphasis on restoring
public green space through stewardship activities, education, and community building.

1. Stewardship: Develop and strengthen partnerships with existing Green Tukwila Stewards and solicit
new stewards to support two additional Green Tukwila sites. Staff will provide guidance, education, training,
tools and equipment, and volunteers to complete onsite work.
2. Green Tukwila project sites: Staff will perform annual site assessments (working with input from site
stewards) to develop work plans and site-specific goals. Annual work plans will guide staff and stewards to
facilitate removal of invasive plants, native planting, and weeding and maintenance. As progress is made at
each site observable physical changes will be made and celebrated.
3. Adopt -A -Spot Volunteer Program: In response to the Coronavirus pandemic and to limit group
gatherings, staff will develop a pilot sub -program of Green Tukwila called the "Adopt -a -Spot" program. The
program will provide opportunities for individuals, small groups, and household units to adopt a location
within a Green Tukwila site, or future Green Tukwila site. Volunteers will work with staff and stewards to
receive educational materials, trainings, equipment, and supplies. Activities will include invasive plant
removal, weeding, and litter reilloval.
4. Education and Outreach: Staff will develop and distribute content and materials to support Green
Tukwila education and outreach. Examples include producing "how to" videos that demonstrate proper
removal and disposal of invasive shrubs, and how to identify, plant, and care for native plants. Videos will be
posted within the City of Tukwila website and Tukwila Parks and Recreation social media. Other education
and outreach examples include developing age appropriate activity sheets for preschool, grade school, family
units, and older adults. Activity sheets may include scavenger hunts, word searches, and coloring sheets that
demonstrate the importance of healthy forests, water, and communities. Sheets will be distributed through
existing parks and recreation programs (including Green Tukwila activities), offered to local classroom
teachers, and will be printable from the City website.
5. Host events: If permitted in 2021, Green Tukwila staff will host events such as Backyard Wildlife
Festival and Green Tukwila Day(s). Staff will place a great emphasis on including partners that promote
native habitats, stewardship, conservation, and healthy communities. If in-person events are not perrnitted,
staff will work with partners to offer virtual options such as webinars, tours, and other activities.
6. Contract professional crew workdays for GTP sites to address technical and challenging work that
cannot be completed by volunteers. Work will be coordinated with stewards each year and integrated into
site work plans.

The 201720 -Year Green Tukwila Stewardship Plan estimated project expenses for 2020 at $113,161and 021 at 27,639 totaling
$240,800. Tukwila Parks and Recreation will not be able to implement the project at this level however is committed to continuing to the
grow the program. To do this staff workloads have been modified again for 2020/2021. This is reflected above in the City of Tukwila
column. Under salaries and benefits, part of this includes reallocating .5 FTE of an existing .75 FTE staff member to this project (note: .25
of this position was dedicated in 2018-2019 and with KCD funds the position was able to dedicate .5 FTE towards initial Green Tukwila
development and implementaation). In 2020/2021 Tukwila will increase staff time to .5 FTE and desires to add .25 FTE to continue to
grow the Green Tukwila program. This funding request is for funds to support the increase in staff time (benefits and salaries). Tukwila

King Conservation District / City of Tukwila — 2018 - 2019 Funding Utilization
Overview
King Conservation D�
The native landscape in Tukwila is as much a part of the city as the sidewalks, building and roads. Like the bulit
infrastructure, urban forests need maintenance and care. The Green Tukwila Partnership has become the
pipeline for volunteers and partner organizations to care for these precious spaces. Volunteers removed
invasive plants like English ivy, Himalayan blackberry, bindweed and holly and replaced them with native shrubs
like Sword ferns, Nootka roses, Sala, Hookers willow, Red Flowering Currant and Evergreen Huckleberry to name
a few. The impact is not only the landscape but is on the people who come out. Over the past two years the
program has been educating people about native ecosystems, tools and how to safely use them, native wildlife,
history of the sites, watersheds, and how we are all connected.
Throughout 2018 and 2019 Tukwila Parks and Recreation utilized King Conservation District funding to improve
natural resource conditions, provide education and outreach, and pilot the Green Tukwila Program at three sites
throughout Tukwila. Those sites, as well as accomplishments at each site, are as foliows:
Tukwila Park: Located at1546D65uAve. South. Tukwila Park was established in 1934, initial parkdevelopment
was performed by the Works Project Association during the Great Depression. Throughout the years English Ivy,
Himalayan blackberry and other invasive plants have taken over the park. In 2018 volunteers started to clear
out invasive plants and replace with native plants such as sword ferns, salal, and winter huckleberry. While
removing invasive plants original trails and stonework were discovered in the park, as well as snakes, banana
slugs, and other native animais. In addition to volunteers, the City contracted with the Student Conservation
Corp to further restoration efforts. Students learned about restoration and the importance of native plants
throughout their two-week experience atthe park. Tukwila Park was the site ofthe MLKDay ofService, second
annual Green Tukwila Day and annual Day of Caring in 2018. Each event hosted several volunteers in a festive
atmosphere that included an education component, food, and roving music. Atotal of 180 volunteers
contributed 492 hours of work at Tukwila Park.
In 2019 Tukwila Park hosted the 3rd Annual Green Tukwila Day, the annual Day of Caring, and two private
business work parties. These work parties had a focus on connecting people to nature and building community.
Most of the volunteers were newto restoration and had tons of questions. The events hosted 109 volunteers
that put in 330 hours at the park. Tukwila Park is covered in a thick blanket of established English ivy, volunteers
cleared and micro weeded 16,200 square feet, completed 22 tree survival rings and planted 110 native plants.
They also mulched 11,000 square feet around young native plants.
Crystal Springs Park: Located 15832 51' Ave. S., Crystal Springs Park protects and preserves a natural spring that
was used by Native Americans and early pioneers in region. The 11 -acre park was originally developed in 1984,
after nearly 25 years Laurel and English ivy have invaded the park. The City partnered with Forterra and
McKinstry Corporation to begin restoration work in m|d'2018. McKinstry selected Crysal Springs Park togive
back to the community while creating team building opportunities for their staff. 114 volunteers dedicated 291
hours in the park. Volunteers learned about invasive plants, including how to properly remove and re -plant with
native plants. Additionally, professional crews worked over a period of four days to inject invasive Laurel.

McKinstry Construction has become Tukwila's first business to officially steward a site and they continued their
work through 2019. They held a handful of work parties that were also open to the public, and park neighbors
have started participating in the work. Crystal Springs had 137 volunteers that put in 278 hours in 2019 and they
cleared 49,000 square feet of invasive plants and planted 300 native trees, plants and shrubs.
8-128mSt. Parcel: Located omthe corner ofSi12Ou St. and 37th Ave S., this parcel is one of Tukwila's newest
open space Iocations. Thesitewasoffc|a||ymamedthromOhtheCityCommoUprocess|m|ate2D19—"Cottomvvood
[ormer." When acquired in 2017, the parcel was inaccessible due blackberry overgrowth and knotweed
invasion. Now, thanks to Heidi Waters (volunteer forest steward) and her Homeschool Stewardship Squad the
park is turning into an easily accessible nature playground for neighborhood children. Heidi Waters created a
site restoration plan with support from Parks and Recreation Staff and the Tukwila Parks Commission.
Throughout 2018, 104 volunteers dedicated 306 hours to the site. The City contracted with professional work
crews to inject invasive knotweed in 2018 and 2019,
In 2019, 116 volunteers completed 327 hours of service on the site. The volunteers cleared 2,000 square feet of
dense Himalayan blackberry, bindweed, and some ivy. Two of the work parties had a focus on planting, by the
end of the year the volunteers had planted 247 native plants on the site. Riverton creek fiows through the site
and one of the highlights was finding a dragonfly larva in the creek and talking about how the work we are doing
today supports life in the future.
The following table demonstrates the accomplishments and impact of the Green Tukwila Program throughout
the past two years.
