information from Duwamish Alive
Volunteers of all ages are invited to kick off the planting season with Nature Consortium on October 19th in the West Duwamish Greenbelt. Extending over 500 acres in West Seattle, the greenbelt plays a critical role in filtering the air and water pollution in the Duwamish River corridor created by urban runoff and industrial waste.
On October 19th, hundreds of volunteers will come together in a day of service in an ongoing effort to help keep Seattle’s only river alive. Cleanup and restoration events will take place at 12 sites along the Duwamish River, both in the water and on the shore, as part of Duwamish Alive, a biannual day of service organized by the Duwamish Alive Coalition.
The coalition is a partnership between community, government, nonprofit, and corporate organizations working together to restore habitat in the Duwamish. The largest event of the day will be held in the West Duwamish Greenbelt, where Nature Consortium is expecting 200 volunteers.
