Help restore native fish and wildlife habitat at Duwamish Alive! clean-up, planting event, Oct. 11

Don’t miss a great chance to work alongside other volunteers this Saturday at the Duwamish Alive! clean-up and habitat restoration event.

Set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., this annual event needs volunteers to pick up debris and remove invasive plant species, then plant native vegetation at eight different locations along the Duwamish River.

Seattle’s home river, the Duwamish is home to endangered chinook salmon and numerous other fish and wildlife species, including bald eagles, great blue herons, otters, raccoons and more.

Removing debris and invasive plants and replanting areas with native vegetation improves habitat and makes for a more beautiful river, too. More information is available at http://www.pugetsound.org/events/duwamishalive.
