Nov 14 volunteer work day restoring a Tukwila site along the Duwamish

Help restore native shoreline habitat to the Puget Sound ecosystem.

Join People For Puget Sound on this former dairy farm that is now 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 bindweed that threaten to overtake native plants. Put on your (work) gloves and join the fight!

Where: the Clover Creek Reserve in Pierce County (directions below)
About the Property and Event:
Clover Creek Reserve is an example of woodland prairie, an increasingly rare landscape in Pierce County. When it was acquired in the mid-1990s, blackberry brambles prevented native plants from growing along the creek.

Please come out and help preserve one of the most endangered eco-systems in the country! The South Puget Sound stunning mounded prairies were created thousands of year ago as the glaciers retreated and were then sustained by the fires of native american tribes who lived on the land. Today, conservationists like you maintain our prairies through active management and restoration.

From baby bottles to kitchen cookware, Americans are more concerned than ever about chemicals and their effect on our health. The stories are unnerving: Our children play with toys that leach unsafe chemicals, our makeup and sunscreen carry toxins, and nearly every child born today carries hazardous chemicals in his or her blood. Even the air we breathe can alter our genes. Maybe we've had enough, on every level. Investigative journalist Elizabeth Grossman, author of Chasing Molecules: Poisonous Products, Human Health, and the Promise of Green Chemistry, thinks we have.

Meet at the Point Wilson Center restroom parking lot (between the kitchen shelter and lighthouse).  Our effort to divert people from trampling the best of the native plant habitat continues.  We will be moving mill felt for our European beach grass control and stringing cable.  There are both light, small tasks and larger physical jobs to do.

After playing to great acclaim at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, this visually stunning documentary is coming to Seattle. It may be hard to remember now in the Age of Al Gore and Obama, but once upon a time, everyone was not "going Green." EARTH DAYS looks back to the dawn of the modern environmental movement -- from its post-war rustlings in the 1950s and the 1962 publication of Rachel Carson's incendiary bestseller Silent Spring, to the first wildly successful 1970 Earth Day celebration.
