Miller and Walker Creeks Stewardship

Photo of three people planting a tree (Miller Creek Renewal at S. 144th Way in Burien October 2007)Ready to get dirty for a good cause? This page lists opportunities to help:

  • Plant native trees and shrubs
  • Pull out invasive non-native plants
  • Clean up litter

Most volunteer projects welcome people of all ages. Younger people may need to be accompanied by an adult -- check with the event organizers.

Unless otherwise noted, no experience is necessary -- you'll learn on the job!

By volunteering, you will be helping to make the Miller and Walker Creek stream basins better for the people, fish, and wildlife that share it.
