Habitat restoration sites on the Duwamish River were once used for industry, but now provide shelter and food for wildlife like salmon. ospreys, great blue herons, and bald eagles. At our events we remove invasive weeds, spread mulch, plant native vegetation, and pick up trash.
No experience necessary. Children 10 and under must have one-to-one adult supervision.
We will provide work gloves, tools, snacks, and beverages.
Reservations requested so we'll know how many tools and how much snacks and beverages to bring.
