The Nature Consortium, which does significant restoration work in the Duwamish Greenbelt, will be leading a hike through the forest this Friday, June 19.
The public is invited to a free public guided hike in the West Duwamish Greenbelt, Seattle’s largest remaining forest.
The Nature Consortium will lead participants through the hidden treasures of this amazing natural wonder, and discuss the history and the future of the forest.
The hike will not be very difficult, said organizers. Inexperienced hikers, seniors, and babies in backpacks are welcome. Parents of toddlers and preschoolers should be warned that this hike can be challenging for you if you are with a preschooler or two who walk down the hills but want to be carried up.
Participants should bring their own water bottle. Granola bars will be provided. Participants should also wear appropriate footwear as some parts of the trail are muddy.
The event will be canceled if there is extreme rain.
People wishing to join are asked to meet on June 19 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the trailhead at 14th Avenue Southwest and Southwest Holly Street.
Call (206) 923-0853 or email lisa@naturec.org to reserve a spot on the hike.
