Land Restoration (3 hours)

Land restoration starts with a 30–45 minute land tour and project orientation, followed by 1.5 hours of service work, and ends with a 30 minute clean up. We build in 15 minutes of flex time.

Depending on the time of year, volunteer activities may include: landscaping, plant removal, planting, trail maintenance, or mulching. Gloves and tools are provided, but please dress for the weather (sun or rain protection) and wear close-toed shoes, hiking boots, or work boots. Be prepared to get dirty.

We typically ask for a staffing fee of $250–$400, based on visit timeframe and group size. If this presents a barrier, please let us know — we’re happy to discuss alternatives.

Land Tours (1 to 2.5 hours)

There are several options for land tours, which may be done individually or combined.

Heron's Nest Site Tour (45–60 minutes): A walk-and-talk tour exploring our mission to return land to the Duwamish Tribe, current on-site projects, and forest restoration work. Weather permitting, the tour may include walking the greenbelt trail to the Duwamish Longhouse.

Herring's House Park and həʔapus Village Park Tour (1 hour): Starting at the Duwamish Longhouse, we walk across the street and discuss the past, present, and future of industrialization and colonization of the Duwamish River.

Duwamish Longhouse Tour (30 min): A self-guided tour of the Duwamish Longhouse after the riverside tour can help solidify some of the things that we talked about throughout the day.

We typically ask for a staffing fee of $150–$350, based on visit timeframe and group size. If this presents a barrier, please let us know — we’re happy to discuss alternatives.
