Exciting Wetlands Project announcement from DNDA Housing & Properties Director Willard Brown!

Join us for the Duwamish Alive! Celebration

and groundbreaking of The Delridge Wetlands and Stewardship Project

Saturday, April 16, 11:00am-1:00pm, 23rd SW and SW Findlay

Howdy friends and neighbors,

Join us at Duwamish Alive! on April 16th to kick off our 2016 activities with students from Arbor Heights and K-8 STEM at Louisa Boren! We’ll be sharing plans for creating a children’s vegetable garden, learning landscape, and restoring this wetland, which is a part of the Longfellow Creek Watershed. We will have a short ceremony showcasing the project and breaking ground with shovels and streamers!

Join the fun:

  • Help paint a mural
  • Win a prize in the children’s scavenger hunt
  • Watch the ceremonial groundbreaking in what will become a children’s garden
  • Learn about the wetland and how it can reduce stormwater contaminants for Longfellow Creek’s salmon population
  • Food and beverages served

Become a Wetlands Steward by: helping work on the dry land or getting your feet wet taking measurements of water depths and flow rates, and helping to brainstorm a plan to maximize the effectiveness of the wetland. Sign up quick, and show your creative skills and love for our wetland!

Contact Willard at willard@dnda.org to sign up and/or to learn more about the restoration work planned for the Wetland, and see our page on the Duwamish Alive Coalition website.

Thank you to our Project Partners for helping support this project and for sponsoring Duwamish Alive celebrations throughout our community:

-Willard Brown, DNDA Housing and Properties Director
