Duwamish Alive! Earth Day Event at Codiga Park

The Good Steward Group is planning an upcoming event for Earth Day, April 19, 2008. We have teamed up with People for Puget Sound to assist with their Duwamish Alive! event. This is a huge event with 8 work sites. But we will be working at the Codiga Park in North Tukwila (12535 50th Place South, Tukwila). The work party will take place from 10AM - 2PM.

We will be cleaning up the site, including removing garbage/debris, pulling weeds, and planting trees along a recently restored back-channel habitat that is vital for migrating adult and juvenile salmon. This is a sorely needed habitat along a river that has undergone a myriad of alterations and severe degradation. A summary of these alterations to the Duwamish has recently been highlighted in the Seattle PI.

Dress appropriately for working outside, including bringing sturdy shoes, potentially rain gear, and long sleeve shirts and pants. If you have work gloves, please bring them. However, People for Puget Sound will provide gloves, beverages, and snacks for all volunteers.

Following the event, People for Puget Sound will host an Earth Day Festival from 2PM - 5PM at the Cooper School in West Seattle with FREE food, performances, environmental education, and giveaways! You're welcome to go, but they'd really love to have you help out during the day.

Please let me know if you plan on coming to the event so we can give People for Puget Sound a rough estimate of numbers. And as always, if you have any groups you like to work with or want to help with the Good Steward Group, please let me know.
