ORGANIZATION: Mid Sound Fisheries Enhancement Group

Join Mid Sound Fisheries, the City of Auburn, and your community members as we restore the shores of the Green-Duwamish River at Fenster Park!

The event will begin with a brief discussion that includes information about the site, the partnering organizations, why this work is important, tool use, and safety, as well as context for why this work is important. We will provide work gloves, all instructions, and all tools. Please plan to arrive on time for the start of the event and allow extra time to find parking.

Description

Mid Sound Fisheries Enhancement Group is dedicated to helping landowners and communities protect their local fish. We practice fisheries and stream restoration in the King and Kitsap Counties in Washington State. Our service area includes the Green/Duwamish River watershed, the Lake Washington/Cedar River watershed, isolated streams flowing into Puget Sound in King County, and all watersheds in eastern Kitsap County.
