4/15 West Duwamish Greenbelt - Pigeon Point

The Nature Consortium hosts volunteer work parties year round on almost every Saturday from 10am - 2pm, and on many other dates. Each work party begins with a short informal forest ecology workshop. During the fall/winter months we remove invasive species and maintain our site.  During the fall and winter we remove invasive species, mulch, and plant native plants and trees in the West Duwamish Greenbelt (see below for more details). Performing artists "play in the woods" during many of our work parties, and include singers, instrumentalists, and dancers.


Time:10am-2pm

Where to meet:  Behind Cooper Elementary

What to bring: Tools, gloves and refreshments will be provided. Long pants and closed-toed shoes are required.  Dress appropriately for weather and mud (i.e. synthetic materials and fleeces).  We work rain or shine.  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.
