5/24 West Duwamish Greenbelt

Come join the Nature Consortium for a work party at the West Duwamish Greenbelt (www.naturec.org)

Each work party begins with a Forest Ecology Workshop.  During the winter months we will be planting native plants and trees throughout the site. 

Performing artists come out to "play in the woods" during our work parties to give volunteers a creative viewpoint of the forest. Recent playful artists include: The Cabiri, Cynthia Feldt, Lelavision, Susie Kozawa, Amy Denio, Christian Swenson, Daniel Shurman, Kristen Tsiatsios.

Please RSVP if you'll be attending.  Tools & refreshments provided. Wear waterproof footwear & weather appropriate clothing.

For volunteer work parties we will meet at the corner of 14th Ave. SW & SW Holly St. (just a few blocks south of South Seattle Community College).

The Nature Consortium is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to teach environmental lessons through the creative arts & hands-on conservation projects.
