King Conservation District: Volunteer at KCD Native Plant Nursery

Join King Conservation District staff for an educational and impactful volunteer event at our Native Plant Nursery in Renton. Spend a morning outside helping to maintain trees, shrubs, groundcovers, and aquatic plants for projects across King County. Tasks may include watering, weeding, potting bareroot plants, dividing aquatic plants, facilities maintenance, and more! Some events will also include native plant identification sessions.

Volunteers earn native plants that can be used to landscape their properties or donated to other organizations. Volunteer events are held two days every month.

Contact volunteer@kingcd.org if you would like more information about the project.

Volunteer: King Conservation District Duwamish Alive! Orca Earth Day @ Longfellow Creek

Join King Conservation District and
Duwamish Alive Coalition and celebrate Earth Day with Duwamish Alive! Become a champion for our Puget Sound Orca and
urban wildlife by helping improve our natural habitat sites which support the
salmon that Orca depend upon. The Green-Duwamish Watershed is home to 5 
species of salmon which spawn in its streams and creeks including the
threatened Chinook Salmon that are the primary food for the Southern Resident
Orca.  By helping to improve and maintain the health of our natural areas,
you are also improving the air and water quality throughout our watershed.
 

We will be working at a buffer habitat
restoration site along Longfellow Creek in West Seattle. The exact location of
the event will be provided after registration.
 

The event will be held outdoors, so please dress
for the weather and wear clothes and closed-toe shoes/boots that you don’t mind
getting wet and muddy.
 

Tools, gloves, water, hot beverages, and snacks
will be provided. Please bring water bottle, travel mug, and lunch.

All ages and experience welcome!
