Jan 30 volunteer restoration work day on the banks of the Duwamish River

Come help restore native shoreline habitat to the Puget Sound ecosystem.

Join People For Puget Sound at the Hamm Creek Estuary.  Hamm Creek used to run through a pipe to the Duwamish River until 1999 when it was “daylighted” and restored to a more natural habitat. Now it is a tidally influenced creek mouth and 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 scotch broom that threaten to overtake native plants. Put on your (work) gloves and join the fight!

Everyone can help! No experience necessary. Children 10 and under must have one-to-one adult supervision.

We’ll be there rain or shine so dress for the weather (rain gear in case of bad weather or sunglasses and a hat if it's sunny). Wear your sturdiest, most waterproof foot gear (sneakers, hiking boots, etc. No sandals).  Wearing long trousers and long sleeves is advisable since we will be in the weeds. Bring a water bottle, lunch and your own work gloves if you have them.

We provide work gloves, tools, snacks, and water (bring your own water bottle).

Please RSVP for directions and so we know how many tools and snacks to bring.
