Earth School Activities
Climb A Tree!
Join Tree Time to explore the lush green canopy of a great graceful oak tree named Alice. Watch the river flow by below as blue herons slowly stalk a slippery snack. Climb up the rope system into the tree canopy using a tried and true climbing style for new climbers known as Double Rope Technique, good for climbers age 6 to 96. Join us and let life slow down, experience Tree Time.

Learn how to keep the environment (and yourself) safe!
The Hazardous Waste Management Program helps King County residents reduce exposure to toxic chemicals and create safer, healthier homes. Through education and community engagement, we provide information on identifying hazardous household products, choosing safer alternatives, using safer cleaning practices, and properly disposing of unwanted hazardous materials. Our goal is to empower residents with practical knowledge and resources to protect themselves, their families, and the environment.
