Research Share-out: Soil Justice and Contamination in Seattle Community Gardens
Hello! We are excited to share back our results from a 1-year research project done in partnership with University of Washington and King Conservation District. Come on Sunday, September 13th from 12-3 PM at Othello-UW Commons to hear a deep dive into the results, take a first look at the maps, and ask questions to our panel of community leaders and government representatives. We will also create an environmental monitoring plan during this event to come up with a tangible plan for next steps towards healthier, more just community gardens. Please complete this RSVP form to confirm your attendance and receive a free lunch, cooked family-style and vegan by our very own Tuesday Talaga!
