The Delridge Wetland, located on 23rd Ave SW and SW Findlay St, is a project spearheaded by DNDA to protect, restore, preserve and expand the existing wetland to improve water quality in Longfellow Creek, meanwhile developing the space as a public park for all to enjoy. Beside wetland restoration, other plans for the park include the creation of an urban garden, community orchard, as well as developing the space as an outdoor classroom for local students and the community to learn hands-on environmental science and wetland stewardship.
Wetland Workshops
The Delridge Wetland Park project is creating space for increased community use in addition to restoring a unique urban greenspace in the Longfellow Creek watershed. The Wetland Workshop Series offers a variety of free events put on by DNDA, to facilitate a re-introduction between our communities and the Delridge Wetland Park. The goal for the workshop series is to address community priorities, offer fun and informative environmental education experiences, and support further community connections and resiliency.

RESTORATION PRACTICES IN A CHANGING CLIMATE
Saturday, December 19th, 10:30 am – 12:30 pm
In this wetland workshop, attendees will be given a brief overview and history of current restoration practices and reference ecosystems used. We will discuss and look at the influence of climate variability and change on the science and practice of restoration ecology and explore different ways that scientists and ecologists are coming together to tackle this complex problem and change the way we think of restoration today.
