October 22 is your chance join the community effort to restore native habitat, within the Duwamish Watershed while celebrating the connection of our urban forests to the Duwamish River and salmon. Starting at 10:00 am volunteers will gear up at multiple Duwamish sites including one of our largest urban forests – the Duwamish Greenbelt to participate in planting and removing invasive weeds in an effort to keep our river alive and healthy for our communities, salmon and the Puget Sound.

Volunteers are still needed at:

• Pigeon Point Park
• Roxhill Bog Park, headwaters of Longfellow Creek
• Delridge Wetlands, tributary of Longfellow Creek
• Longfellow Creek at Greg Davis Park
• Hamm Creek/Duwamish Substation along the river
• Herrings House Park, along the river
