Duwamish Alive! Work Parties
2019-10-19 10:00 - 14:00 | WA, United States
What can I do to help save our salmon and orca? This is a question we should be considering, especially now during the fall season and the return of spawning salmon in our river and its streams . Recent media stories have highlighted the plight of our Southern Resident orcas and describe how they are struggling to survive. Understanding how our collective actions and efforts are connected to the health of these whales, the salmon they depend on and the ecosystems that support all of us – its important to remain focused and hopeful for the future. YOU CAN HELP by joining us for Duwamish Alive! to improve critical salmon habitat within the Green-Duwamish River watershed that salmon depend upon. We will be working at many sites within the watershed, planting native plants, removing invasive weeds and trash along with mulching. Register with one of our partners for a day of fun, action and learning.

Choose your site and register to volunteer with the following partners:

Everyone can help! All ages are welcome and no experience is necessary. We provide all of the tools and training needed. So bring along your friends and family and get your hands dirty!

2019-11-02 10:00 - 14:00 | Tukwila Community Center, 12424 42nd Avenue South , Tukwila, WA, 98168, United States
Join EarthCorps and the City of Tukwila as we work to improve the Duwamish River near the Tukwila Community Center. A healthy array of plants on the banks of the river is important for migrating and resident fish, birds and other wildlife. Currently, much of the Duwamish riverbank is covered in aggressive weeds that provide little to no shelter, shade or food for wildlife. A variety of native plants are also critical for filtering polluted rainwater that runs off of parking lots, roads and roofs. Not to mention the enjoyment people can get by sitting in the shade of a tree by the river!
Numbers of volunteer positions available: 35

Groups
If you are coming as a group, the group leaders are expected to have an active and integral role in our events. Please get in touch with volunteer@earthcorps.org before the event 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 meet 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 Team to take care of all necessary preparations.

The Basics
We will supply the gloves and tools and 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 prior experience necessary, just come ready to learn something new! This video may give you a better idea of what to expect.
This event is led by the Puget Sound Stewards, who are part of our program that matches enthusiastic and motivated volunteers to nearshore habitat restoration sites in need of long-term stewardship.
For your safety and comfort please bring:

Clothing that can get dirty (because it will!)
Long pants and long sleeves (helps protect against prickly plants)
Sturdy shoes that can handle some mud (closed toed shoes are required such as work boots, hiking boots, rubber boots, etc. NO sandals, flats, or heels)
Rain gear and warm layers (check the weather!)
Sack lunch and snacks
Full water bottle

The event will happen rain or shine!
What will volunteers be doing at the event?
While the exact tasks at hand vary, our projects focus on improving the forests, shorelines, and parks in our local cities. Healthy and thriving forests and shorelines are vital to our community because they absorb and naturally 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, the work can include:

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