Happy Earth Month!

Join resident Forest Stewards and the Tukwila community to beautify and create a sustainable native habitat at Duwamish Hill Preserve. We will be removing young blackberries and clearing space for fall plantings.

All tools and training provided.

About the Hill:
The unique ecosystems at the Duwamish Hill Preserve highlight oak savannahs, camas prairie, wet sedge meadow, and the tule wetland. The hill itself is a geological wonder and is actually older than Mt. Rainier!

About Duwamish Alive:

Involve community members in direct stewardship of the watershed through volunteer work parties, environmental education, and neighborhood celebrations

About Green Tukwila Partnership, Tukwila Parks and Recreation

Location:

12424 42nd Ave S, Tukwila, WA 98188, US

Mission Statement

Healthy parks and natural open spaces are a gift to our city and everyone in it. They provide places where people can connect with nature, see wildlife, and explore the beautiful Pacific Northwest. They also keep the air and waterways clean, buffer noise, provide habitat for local wildlife, and absorb carbon to fight against climate change. These valuable places can’t take care of themselves in an urban environment, they need our help to make sure we have a healthy and green Tukwila-today, tomorrow, and into the future.

Description

Join friends, neighbors, and bring your families outside to learn about trees, shrubs, invasive plants, how to use tools, and much more. Work parties are being planned for community members and businesses to care for precious urban forests and to ensure healthy, safe, and beautiful public spaces to enjoy in the future.
