Nature Consortium Earth Day
Brown is back! Legendary nature and arts organization Nature Consortium returns for one day only!
It’s the 20th anniversary of the Green Seattle Partnership and to celebrate we’re honoring our roots as Nature Consortium, whose restoration and eco-arts programs merged into DNDA nearly a decade ago.
Join us at Pigeon Point Park for our Earth Day event. We’ll be continuing the restoration of this important park in the West Duwamish Greenbelt, Seattle’s largest remaining forest. Volunteers led by staff from DNDA and Nature Consortium will help remove invasive plants and spread wood chip mulch. We’ll have arts activities and live music in the woods featuring familiar faces from the Nature Consortium era.
