Saturday, May 3, is new date for Duwamish River Service Day
Our dynamic Rotary District 5030 Environmental Sustainability Committee is very active this year and is inviting Rotarians to participate in a hands-on environmental project on Saturday, May 3, from 9 am to 1 pm.
We will be working on the banks of Seattle’s primary urban river namely the Duwamish River. Our work will include removing invasive species and planting indigenous trees and shrubbery. This is a District-wide project and we need 40 volunteers to join us.
The location is Diagonal Ave Park Shoreline Habitat at 4663 Diagonal Ave. South Seattle 98134. See https://www.portseattle.org/places/terminal-108-park-diagonal-avenue-public-access
We will meet at 9 am and will have George Blumberg, historian with the Port of Seattle, share an update on the major cleanup being coordinated by the EPA as a Superfund site. We will also have someone from the Duwamish Nation share about the native history going back 10,000 years in connection with the Duwamish River.
There will be coffee and donuts in the morning followed by a vegetarian lunch around noon. The hands-on work will take 2-3 hours.
Please let Dave Spicer know if you are interested. Email dtspicer@hotmail.com or cell 206 229 7568.
Only need to bring boots appropriate for working in the mud and working gloves plus a water bottle. Tools and shrubs and plants will be there with porto potty on site.
This is a very meaningful outing and definitely helps our environment!
