Duwamish Shoreline Work Party

April 16, 2016 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

Come join us for our annual spring Duwamish Alive event! Be one of hundreds of volunteers who come out to the Green-Duwamish river for a day of environmental service!

At the Duwamish Shoreline,  we will be tackling some invasive weeds along the bank of the River, and spreading mulch in hopes of keeping this habitat happy and healthy! We’ll have a great view of an osprey nest and some occasional otter and bunny sightings while we work next to the river. This is a great way to give back to your local community, and is also an  awesome opportunity to meet some new faces, to get your hands dirty, and to get outside and connect with the Green-Duwamish River!

Interested in volunteering with us for Duwamish Alive? Please register below so we know to expect you!

What to bring: Please dress for the weather because we will be working rain or shine! Boots or comfortable athletic shoes, work clothes, appropriate layers for rain and sun. Volunteers should also bring a refillable water bottle; snacks and lunch will be provided, so make sure to stick around!

Restoration training, tools and gloves will also be provided. No experience necessary, so make sure to bring along your friends, family, and neighbors!

Youth volunteers: If you are under 18 and attending the event without a parent or guardian, please come to the event with a Youth Waiver signed by a parent or guardian. Youth Waiver for Forterra Restoration Events
