February: Winter Work for a Healthier River

Warm up your winter with a riverside work party! Join REI and Steward Chris for ecological restoration along the Green River Trail. Volunteers will clear invasive plants and help establish native species that provide critical shade and habitat for salmon. Your efforts will directly support the health of the Green–Duwamish River ecosystem.

Did you know? The Green River once changed course dramatically in the early 1900s after the construction of the Black River Diversion Dam, reshaping the river valley and the communities around it.

Perfect for families, individuals, and business groups looking to make a hands-on impact. All ages welcome, with tools and training provided.

All ages OK

What to Bring

Dress for the weather, wear closed-toe shoes, and cover your legs and arms; blackberries can be very scratchy. Bring a full water bottle and, if you have them, tough gardening gloves.

Where to Meet

We will meet in Bicentennial Park and walk to the site, which is located just south of the park, under the bridge, follow the Green River Trail South.
