DNDA’s Nature Consortium program is hosting a volunteer event on Saturday, April 21st in honor of Earth Day 2018. Our program, along with our friends at Earth Corps, will be co-hosting a fun and vibrant volunteer work party within the West Duwamish Greenbelt as part of a Duwamish Alive! day of service.
Past Earth Day events have brought hundreds of volunteers to our sites in an annual collaboration dating back to 2006. The West Duwamish Greenbelt is the largest contiguous forest within the City of Seattle, extending over 500 acres and providing important ecosystem services to the Duwamish Rivershed. Earth Day volunteers provide a crucial boost to year-round efforts aimed at restoring sites to healthy, evergreen forest. Volunteer restoration work will include invasive plant removal, mulching, and site maintenance. Our Earth Day work party will be accompanied by live musicians,bringing a fun creative element to our restoration tasks!
