This October 15th we’re having an extra special work party celebrating Migratory Bird Day! Join us as we restore the urban Madrone forest at Westcrest Park for the benefit of all birds, including those on their way south! As we learn about migratory birds and their role in the environment, we’ll be working to clear the way for Green Seattle Day planting. Official sign-ups for the event are at the links below:
