Duwamish Alive! ‘Saving Our Salmon, Saves Our Orca’ event will be Saturday, Oct. 15

Duwamish Alive! ‘Saving Our Salmon, Saves Our Orca’ will be held on Saturday, Oct. 15, 2022, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

With the latest news about our Southern Resident Orca, saving our river’s salmon especially chinook which the orca need and critical to their survival.

Join us for a day of restoring the health of our watershed and salmon habitat at sites from Seattle to Auburn. The Green-Duwamish Watershed will be alive with hundreds of volunteers working throughout it to improve the health of its habitat and water for salmon, orca, wildlife and communities.

This collaborative effort brings together many organizations and municipalities to highlight the complexity of our watershed and its importance to our region in restoring its health and the salmon that depends upon it.

We will be working in the upland forests, along and in the river, its tributaries, and wetlands from Seattle to Auburn.

Because our watershed is important to the survival of our Southern Resident Orcas, we are also partnering with Conservation Districts’ Orca Recovery Day event throughout the region.

We will be hosting not only volunteering opportunities, but at many of our sites we will have community engagement/educational activities for the broader community to enjoy.

This is a family friendly event, with all ages welcome.
