Join us a Day of Environmental Restoration in Tukwila

2010 Volunteer Dates:

• March 20 from 10 AM to 1 PM

  

• April 17 from 10 AM to 2 PM - Special event, Earth Day Duwamish Alive Celebration!

Join volunteers to help restore this culturally significant property and help in the effort to transform this area into a park preserve for the local community.  Event activities include planting, invasive weed removal and other restoration projects.

About the Property:
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 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.  The Hill 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.”

All volunteers involved with this project will be invited to the public opening of the Preserve in 2010 to celebrate the restoration of this great place.  Please come out and contribute to this effort!

What to bring:
Please remember to dress for the weather.  Suggested Dress: Boots or comfortable athletic shoes, work clothes, rain gear and appropriate layers.  Volunteers should bring a refillable water bottle.  Snacks, drinks, tools and gloves will be provided.
