2024 Keynote Speaker: Sharon Caples McDougle
Retired Spacesuit Technician, Air Force Veteran and Author

Sharon McDougle began her aerospace career as an Aerospace Physiology Specialist at Beale Air Force Base in 1982 supporting SR-71 and U2 pilots. In 1990, McDougle began her work with NASA as a Boeing Suit Technician responsible for processing launch and reentry suits worn by NASA Space Shuttle astronauts. She was promoted to Crew Chief in 1994, becoming the first female and first African American Crew Chief over Shuttle Crew Escape Equipment and led the first and only all-female suit tech crew as part of STS-78. In 2004, McDougle became Manager of the Crew Escape Equipment Processing Department, overseeing the team that managed aspects from suiting up to landing recovery. McDougle was involved with Shuttle missions from STS-37 to STS-135 and retired in 2012 after the end of the Space Shuttle Program the prior year.

Help Heal Our Habitat at Codiga Park
2024-04-06 10:00 - 13:00 | Codiga Park, 12535 50th Pl S, Tukwila, WA, 98188, United States
Join EarthCorps and the City of Tukwila as we continue to work in the Codiga Park natural area on the Duwamish River. This former dairy farm is now part park and part tidal wetland that provides shelter and food for wildlife like ospreys, great blue herons, bald eagles and juvenile salmon. In 2005, the City of Tukwila and the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers partnered to excavate the center of the property, creating a side channel that offers young salmon a chance to rest, forage for food and avoid predators in a more natural wetland habitat. The new channel was planted with native vegetation that thrived. The shoreline of the river, however, remained dominated by invasive Himalayan blackberry and Japanese knotweed. Since 2008, the riverbank has been cleared of invasive weeds and planted with native plants. EarthCorps’ Sound Stewards monitor and maintain Codiga monthly to promote healthy native plants. Work alongside Sound Stewards to ensure the success of the Codiga Park restoration site!
The Basics
Registration is required. EarthCorps supplies gloves, tools, water and snack bars. We will teach you everything you need to know about tool use, safety, forest health, and the importance of the work you will be doing. No experience necessary, just come ready to learn something new! Be sure to sign in at registration when you arrive.

The event will happen rain or shine!
What will volunteers be doing at the event?
While the exact tasks can 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 filter rain water, produce clean oxygen, provide living spaces for wildlife, and create a place for people to connect with the outdoors.
In order to help create healthy forests and green spaces, the work can include, but is not limited to:

Removing weeds (like Ivy or Blackberry)
Maintaining areas where these weeds have been removed (weeding or spreading mulch)
Planting trees and shrubs during the rainy season (often ~Oct.-Feb.)

Groups
If you are coming as a group, the group leaders are expected to have an active role in our events. After registering your group, please get in touch with volunteer@earthcorps.org to make sure everything is in order. On the day of the event, make yourself known to the staff (in bright yellow vests) and arrive early in order to help guide your group members.
Youth Policy
Youth under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or responsible adult. All volunteers between the ages of 14 and 17 that are not with a parent or guardian must bring a filled out Youth Waiver the day of the event.
Youth and school groups are welcome to attend; leaders should contact the Volunteer Teamto take care of all necessary preparations.
