Habitat Restoration on the Duwamish River

Etc/GMT-7

Habitat restoration sites on the Duwamish River were once used for industry, but now provide shelter and food for wildlife like salmon, osprey, 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’ll be there rain or shine so please dress appropriately for the weather. Bring work gloves and tools if you have them and don’t forget your lunch!

Reservations are requested so we’ll know how many tools and snacks we’ll need. To sign up and for more information, please contact Eliza Ghitis at eghitis@pugetsound.org or by phone at (206) 382-7007.
