2/11/23 Planting Event @ Fenster Nature Park!

Save to Favorites

Join Mid Sound Fisheries, Green River Coalition, the City of Auburn, and your community members as we restore the shores of the Green-Duwamish River at Fenster Park! We are in the process of planting trees and shrubs along the Green River at Fenster Park to make a future forest to ensure salmon have a healthy habitat in the Green River for centuries to come.

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!
