Puget Soundkeeper (PSK) is tackling the removal of legacy debris in the upper section of the Duwamish River. For all of us who care for the river, this has been a goal for some time. PSK has received special funding to tackle this long-standing issue, but they need our help in removing this historic debris, which includes old tires that are impacting the health of salmon, the river, and Puget Sound. Volunteers are needed to help on land and water in these areas:
- Base Camp Team will help on land with receiving, sorting and disposing of debris and supporting on-water volunteers
- Hot Spot & Float Teams will work on the hotspot debris field and/or cleanup during the float down the river in kayaks
- Boat Wranglers will help load and unload boat, helping to get them on and off the river.
- People who can use their own car or a Soundkeeper-rented vehicle to move boats, people and/or
equipment
No experience is needed for kayaking; boats, safety gear, supplies and instruction is provided. Anyone under the age of 18 can participate in the land only activities. This is being conducted between two wonderful little known park gems in Tukwila, Codiga and Duwamish Gardens and just up river from two important salmon habitats – Chinook Wind and North Wind’s Weir.
