Help us recognize and celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service with environmental restoration work at Fenster Nature Park!

Come join Mid Sound Fisheries, Green River Coalition, and the City of Auburn as we plant native trees and shrubs, remove non-native invasive species, and spread mulch to help insulate our plants through the winter! We will be working from 10am - 1pm on Monday, January 17th in observation of MLK day. Be a part of your community and join your neighbors and friends in helping care for our local parks and salmon populations!

The event will begin with a brief discussion that includes information about the site, the partnering organizations, why this work is important, tool use, and safety. We will provide work gloves, all instructions, and all tools. Please plan to arrive on time for the start of the event and allow extra time to find parking.

Please sign up directly with VolunteerMatch!
