The Nature Consortium's Urban Forest Restoration Project is committed to long-term stewardship and restoration of the West Duwamish Greenbelt, the largest remaining contiguous forest within Seattle city limits.
Their main restoration goal is reintroducing the conifer species to the greenbelt. They also focus on invasive plant removal, site maintenance and environmental education.
Duwamish Alive! is a multiple-site work party around the city that is produced by Nature Consortium, Green Seattle Partnership, People for Puget Sound, EOS, Seattle Parks and Recreation, and others.
