Young salmon coming from the Green/Duwamish River will feed\, hide from predators\, and get used to salt water in the shallow waters here. Nearby trees\, shrubs\, and marsh plants will host insects for young fish to eat as they prepare for their lives in salt water. THE BASICS:\nWe’ll supplies gloves\, tools\, water\, light refreshments and volunteer education. We will provide everything you need to know about tool use and safety\, estuary health\, information on the parks\, and the importance of the work you’ll be doing. No prior experience necessary\, just come ready to learn something new!FOR YOUR SAFETY AND COMFORT\, PLEASE BRING: \n\nClothing that can get dirty (because it will!)\nLong pants and a long sleeve shirt (helps protect against prickly plants)\nSturdy shoes that can handle some mud (closed toed shoes are required: work boots\, hiking boots\, or running shoes are all fine)\nSnacks\nFull water bottle\n\nEvents will happen rain or shine! Remember to check the weather and bring appropriate layers and raingear/sun wear if needed.  \nWHAT WILL WE BE DOING?\nWhile the exact tasks at hand vary\, our projects focus on improving natural areas in our local cities. Healthy and thriving forests and riversides are vital to our community because they absorb and naturally filter rain water\, absorb toxins in the air\, produce clean oxygen\, provide living spaces for wildlife\, and they create a place for people to connect with the outdoors. \nIn order to do this\, we will be focusing on planting native trees and shrubs to help reforest the park. mulching to add nutrients\, and some weeding of aggressive weeds to make sure the baby plants will thrive in their new home. \nGROUPS:\nIf you are coming as a group\, the group leaders are expected to have an active and integral role in our events.

The land and water surrounding the substation provide critical food and shelter for a variety of animals living there. One animal that supports many of the other animals in our Puget Sound ecosystem are salmon. Salmon use the area to slowly transition between freshwater and saltwater. It’s is important that the nearby riverbank be lush with healthy native plants because they provide homes for the bugs that salmon like to eat and they filter polluted rainwater that runs off roads\, parking lots and roofs. By removing invasive species and planting natives\, we will be providing a more suitable habitat for salmon and the many other animals that live in the area.

Healthy and thriving natural areas are vital to our community because they absorb and filter rain water\, absorb toxins in the air\, produce clean oxygen\, provide living spaces for wildlife\, and they create a place for people to connect with the outdoors. \nIn order to help create healthy forests and wetlands\, we focus on removing aggressive weeds (like English Ivy or Himalayan Blackberry)\, maintaining areas where these weeds have been removed\, and planting trees and shrubs during the rainy season. \nYOUTH:\nAll unaccompanied volunteers between the ages of 16 and 17 must bring a filled out Youth Waiver the day of the event. Youth under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. \nDriving Directions to Seattle City Light – Duwamish Substation on the Duwamish River\nW Marginal Place S\, Seattle\, WA \nFrom the North on I5:\nHeading South on I 5\, at exit 158\, take ramp right for Boeing Access Rd toward E Marginal Way.\nTurn right onto S Boeing Access Rd.\nTurn right onto E Marginal Way S.\nTurn left onto S 102nd St. and go over the bridge through Boeing Company parking lots.\nTurn right onto West Marginal Pl S.\nJust before the City Light power substation\, look for a small pull out on the right in front of a tall metal fence and park there.
