Join People For Puget Sound on the shores of the forgotten Duwamish River. Turning Basin #3 is a wetland that used to contain Kenco Marine Company where boats moored. Now it is a tidally influenced wetland providing shelter and food for wildlife like ospreys, great blue herons, bald eagles and juvenile fish. We’ll be working together to remove pesky invasive weeds like blackberry and scotch broom that threaten to overtake native plants. Put on your (work) gloves and join the fight!

Join KCD and the Green Seattle Partnership to help restore habitat on Longfellow creek in West Seattle. Longfellow creek is one of only four salmon streams in Seattle. Come join our ongoing efforts to replace invasive ivy and blackberry with native trees and shrubs.
