Activities

Join Heron Habitat Helpers to restore forested habitats in the city's first official wildlife refuge, Kiwanis Ravine, between Discovery Park and the Ballard Locks. We will be weeding invasives and planting native plants to help numerous bird species, amphibians, mountain beavers, and other wildlife survive in the city.

All ages OK

9 out of 20 participants registered.

What to Bring

Wear clothes and shoes you can get muddy and snagged; long sleeves and long pants will protect you from nettle stings. Layers and a raincoat depending on the weather--we work rain or shine. Gloves and tools will be provided along with a light snack.

No need to stay the whole time! Any volunteer hours are appreciated. Perfect opportunity to get Student Service Hours!

Where to Meet

Meet at the Stevens Restoration Site
4441 Brygger Dr W, Seattle, WA 98199

From W Government Way turn north on 34th Ave W, which becomes Brygger Dr W. Follow it around an S-curve until you get to a dead-end sign and a big pile of wood chips.

There are bike paths from downtown, the ship canal, and Ballard, and if you'd like to walk from the Locks, for example, it's 5 minutes uphill from the fish ladder to W Government Way, then go right and it's 5 minutes following the directions above.

Where to Park

Parking is limited in the neighborhood. There is some street parking along W Government Way.
