Strander ROW - Riverside Restoration with REI

Activities

April: Earth Month Celebration on the Green River

Celebrate Earth Month with REI and Steward Chris in a morning of riverside restoration at one of our community’s most treasured trails. Volunteers will remove invasive plants and help establish native trees and shrubs, building a healthier forest and river corridor for salmon and people alike.

Did you know? The Duwamish River—the lower stretch of the Green—was once lined with tidal marshes and forests, 97% of which have been lost to development. Your work helps restore vital habitat along this living river.

All ages are encouraged to join! This is a fantastic opportunity for families and business groups to give back together. Tools and training provided—come ready to get your hands dirty and make a difference.

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.
