Mark your calendar for the largest Earth Day celebration in the Seattle area!

Duwamish Alive! Restore Our River
April 17th, 2010, 10am-2pm

Thousands of volunteers are needed at multiple sites in the Duwamish River watershed. Celebrate the restoration of Seattle’s Duwamish River, and the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day by volunteering at one of 12 restoration sites. Work sites include a river cleanup by kayak and canoe, shoreline salmon restoration, and forest tree planting, and no experience is necessary!

You may also attend the FREE Earth Day Festival from 2-4pm at Pathfinder School in the Delridge neighborhood. The Festival will provide food, kids’ activities, informational booths, music, and special Earth Day surprises!

The restoration of the Duwamish depends on community, non-profit, government and corporate partners working together to restore the urbanized environment. The Duwamish River Estuary has less than 3% of its original habitat remaining. Our goal is to help bring back at least 30% of the river shoreline for wildlife habitat, but in order to do so, we need YOU to join us, too. We are looking for school, work, or other organizational groups as well as individuals to volunteer for Duwamish Alive. 

Contact Duwamish Alive, or call 206-382-7007 today! See you on April 17!
