Thornton Creek Success

The Good Steward Group joined EarthCorps, Seattle Public Utilities, GreenSEATTLE, and the Thornton Creek Alliance on Saturday, February 28th. Most of you are aware that Thornton Creek is 1 of 3 urban streams within the City of Seattle that salmon still use for spawning. However, the creek has undergone significant changes over the years.



We had a great time spreading mulch, planting trees and shrubs, and pulling the dreaded ivy and blackberry along the Thornton Creek riparian habitat. In total, we donated 20 hours of service!

Stay tuned...we're looking for another event to volunteer with soon. You too can come out!
