Westcrest Park - Backyard Bird Count and …02/15/2025

Activities

Join Dirt Corps this February to celebrate the Great Backyard Bird Count and help us care for this section of the West Duwamish Greenbelt. We'll be learning about this international 4-day citizen science event and the bird populations present in Westcrest Park, and then will have a chance to participate in the bird count with the group or individually (~15 minute activity). Once we're finished documenting our birds, we'll be caring for our restoration area by removing weeds (looking at you blackberry!) and applying mulch around the native plants and trees. We hope to see you there!

All ages OK

24 out of 30 participants registered.

What to Bring

Please bring with you what you will need to be comfortable whilst spending a few hours working outside. Dress in clothed layers for the weather, and consider bringing additional dry, insulating, or waterproof layers.
Remember to bring water, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, or any other accessories to protect yourself from the elements.
Remember that blackberry thorns are sharp and can snag clothing, and that the terrain may be uneven and/or wet.
We will be providing gloves and tools for all to use, as well as snacks, hot drinks, and water.
