The Duwamish River ecosystem is a vital yet heavily impacted watershed in the Seattle area, supporting a diverse array of wildlife, including salmon, otters, and eagles. Naturalist Fletcher Levy will lead the group on a stroll and discuss the Green-Duwamish Salmon. Fletcher will discuss all five species and their cultural relevance while also explaining some of the challenges we face in the region.
As a bonus, Fletcher will identify native plants and trees and share how they support the river. Everyone will go home with great ways to help salmon ecosystems from your own home.
Restrooms and water bottle fill-up stations are available at the Tukwila Community Center. This event is rain or shine and ADA accessible; all ages are welcome, and the walk is paved.
Are you comfortable with iNaturalist and community science? We are seeking individuals to help document plants and wildlife in Tukwila. If this is you, please reach out to fletcher.levy@tukwilawa.gov and help document during this event!

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.
