Last Sunday, the Nature Consortium work party at Pigeon Point Park in the West Duwamish Greenbelt got a surprise visit from volunteers aboard the “Do-Good Bus,” which has been along for the ride during the nationwide tour of Foster the People (which subsequently performed at the Showbox downtown). The volunteers pitched in to help the ongoing forest restoration. While the NC – and other groups – have work parties all the time, only twice a year do you get to be part of a mega-work party, multiple sites and hundreds of people. This Saturday is the fall edition of that big event, Duwamish Alive! – and you can sign up to help out at sites including these, listed on the DA! site:

South Park:
Duwamish Waterway Park
River trash cleanup by kayak and canoe

Georgetown:
Gateway Park/8th Avenue South

West Seattle:
Alki: Seacrest Park
Roxhill Bog
Westcrest Park
Brandon Street Natural Area
Puget Creek Natural Area
West Duwamish Greenbelt/ Pigeon Point
Herring House Park/T-107

Tukwila:
