This year, the Duwamish Longhouse is reforesting the hillside behind the Longhouse and Seattle Parks Department is restoring 40 acres in the West Seattle Green Belt. Duwamish activities are funded in part by a grant from the King County Conservation District. http://www.kingcd.org/programs-grant.htm
Our project's objectives are:
to restore the Longhouse's property's ecosystem by providing a place to sustain native food and medicine, habitat and wildlife in relation to the Duwamish culture,
to engage the public and raise educational awareness of the Duwamish native culture and its relationship to the restored ecosystem, and
to work with community partners to increase public awareness of urban reforestation stewardship.
