Watershed Walks

Plan to attend a Watershed Walks training event Saturday, April 7, 1 – 4 pm and you’ll learn how to lead engaging, informative walks in your community that connect residents to their environment!

The Watershed Walks Program is designed to train Neighborhood Walking Ambassadors to educate residents about the natural ecology of the Longfellow Creek/Duwamish River Watershed. Individuals attending this event will become trained Neighborhood Walking Ambassadors. Camp Long Naturalist Jeanie Murphy-Ouellette and Feet First Volunteer Coordinator Darcy Edmunds will lead this training on how to effectively engage walking groups, what environmental threats affect our watersheds, and how individuals can reduce their impact on local ecologies.

The Watershed Walks Program provides an enjoyable way for people to learn about the relationship between their actions and a clean environment, and will provide participants an opportunity to experience their environment and community in a different, more intimate way.

Location:
Seattle Public Library - Delridge Branch
5423 Delridge Way SW, Seattle, WA 98106
