Duwamish Alive! Planting at Camp Long: West Seattle Join EarthCorps, the Duwamish Alive! Coalition, the Green Seattle Partnership, and local stewardship groups at Camp Long! Join us as we continue to restore the upland forests of Camp Long! Your help is especially important since these forests filter water that drain into the 2nd largest Salmon bearing creek in Seattle, Longfellow Creek! Your work will help address stormwater pollution issues that face the city and help to make the land around the stream more natural. We would love to teach you more, so join us! Directions The entrance to Camp Long is located at the intersection of SW Dawson St and 35th Ave SW. From there, look for EarthCorps signs and follow them to walk down to our registration tent.
By Car from I-5:
- Take the West Seattle Bridge (exit 163A) and proceed over the bridge into West Seattle.
- Just after the bridge turn left on 35th Ave SW.
- Just after the first large hill turn left onto SW Dawson St. This will take you into the park.
By Bus:

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.
