Nature Consortium hosts volunteer work parties year round 5-6 times per week, including every Saturday from 10am-2pm in the West Duwamish Greenbelt located in West Seattle. Each work party begins with a short informal forest ecology workshop. During the fall and winter we remove invasive species, mulch, and plant native plants and trees in the West Duwamish Greenbelt. Performing artists "play in the woods" during many of our work parties, and include singers, instrumentalists, and dancers.
Time:10am-2pm
Where to meet: 1901 SW Genesee, 98106
What to bring: *Volunteers must wear work clothes that can get dirty, long pants, and sturdy close-toed shoes. We work rain or shine, so please come prepared for the weather! During the cold and wet fall/winter months we strongly suggest that volunteers not wear cotton, but instead opt for fleeces, wool, and other synthetic fabrics that stay warm even when they are wet. We also recommend packing an extra pair of clothes and a plastic bag, piece of cardboard, or other recyclable material to separate your muddy clothes/shoes from your vehicles. Although it doesn’t rain some parts of the Greenbelt are still muddy.
*Tools, gloves and refreshments will be provided. Bring a full water bottle. We will have water available for refills. Bring a bagged lunch if granola bars will not be enough of a snack.
