Working With Volunteers Workshop (Part one): Duwamish River As part of our Puget Sound Steward program, we are offering workshops to give community members a deeper knowledge of environmental restoration. This workshop is open to anyone interested in learning more, with hopes that participants will keep coming out to volunteer with us!
The Basics
This is part one of a two part workshop. This first portion will be an in-class seminar where participants will learn and discuss the basic protocols and procedures for leading successful volunteer restoration events.
By the end of part one of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Explain the importance of doing restoration with community members
- Identify the elements of a polished and positive restoration experience
- Navigate EarthCorps' protocols to schedule and organize their own restoration events if they choose to become a steward.
Part two of this workshop is the following Saturday (7/20). This portion will be field-based to continue building on the concepts learned on Thursday with hands-on practice! If you are only able to attend one portion of the workshop, let us know at volunteer@earthcorps.org

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.
