Join Puget Sound Stewards to restore the Duwamish shoreline!
The Duwamish Substation is one of many stations distributing energy to homes around the greater Seattle area. The land and water surrounding the substation provide critical food and shelter for a variety of animals living there. By removing invasive species and planting natives, we will be providing a more suitable habitat for salmon and the many other animals that live in the area. Please join us to help restore this habitat!
THE BASICS:
Sound Stewards will supply gloves, tools, and volunteer education. We will provide everything you need to know about tool use and safety, forest health, information on the park, and the importance of the work you’ll be doing. No prior experience necessary, just come ready to learn something new!

About EarthCorps:
EarthCorps is an independent nonprofit supported by donors and volunteers. Each year we work with over 10,000 volunteers at hundreds of events around the region to improve our forests, shorelines and salmon streams. We believe that involving the community through hands on work is the best way to keep our parks healthy.
The Work We Do:
While the exact tasks at hand vary, our projects focus on improving the forests and parks in our local cities. Healthy and thriving forests are vital to our community because they absorb and naturally filter rain water, absorb toxins in the air, produce clean oxygen, provide living spaces for wildlife, and they create a place for people to connect with the outdoors.
In order to help create healthy forests, we focus on removing aggressive weeds (like English Ivy or Himalayan Blackberry), maintaining areas where these weeds have been removed, and planting trees and shrubs during the rainy season.
