About the Event: Join the teams of enthusiastic volunteers who will roll up their sleeves to help restore the Duwamish River on October 13, 2007. Duwamish Alive! is a chance for people to reclaim the river by weeding invasive plants, mulching planting area, and picking up trash. Last year's Duwamish alive! Autumn event brought together over 210 volunteers at 6 riverfront sites. Join us to make this year's event bigger and even better! Sites include: West Duwamish Greenbelt, Herring's House Park, Gateway Park North, Duwamish Waterway Park, Duwamish Riverbend Hill with more to be added.

CLC and Green Seattle Partnership will be at Duwamish Riverbend Hill Site.

About the Site:

    In 2001, Cascade Land Conservancy, the City of Tukwila, and a local citizen group formed a partnership to work for the preservation of an undeveloped parcel of land on the Duwamish River.  The Duwamish Riverbend Hill property was successfully acquired in March 2004 by the Cascade Land Conservancy and the City of Tukwila. The property will be managed as a public open space preserve devoted to the interpretation of the site’s Native American cultural significance and other aspects of Duwamish River Valley natural and cultural history.
    This property consists of an unusual outcropping of bedrock rising above the Duwamish River, as well as 600 feet of river shoreline.  The property is culturally significant for its association with southern Puget Sound Salish oral tradition and history, as a key location in the stories collectively known as the “Epic of the Winds.”
