What We Do
Earth Runs has been promoting as well as physically planting trees and native plants around Seattle and the greater area ever since our first Earth Day event in 2008. We help educate the public on the importance of tree's, proper tree placement and what native trees and plants we have in our region. We continually donate trees and other native plants to the public and other community organizations, and we implement our own planting projects around the area. We also provide a monthly fitness run to the community called the Magnuson Series. This helps keep our communities healthy as well as provide opportunities for the public to learn and participate in restoration events.
