HeApus Park Garbage Clean Up

Joins us for our monthly garbage clean up along the Duwamish River.

Agenda: After making introductions and a safety talk, each person will receive a tandem sit-on-top kayak, a partner if needed, and a PFD before setting out on the water in groups with the support of a power boat. We will be paddling to locations only available by small watercraft. We will exit boats and pick up debris around Kellogg Island, and nearby shorelines between the West Seattle Bridge and First Avenue Bridge.

You are more than welcomed to bring your own kayak, canoe, or SUP. Please still fill out the waiver below.

This is rated as an easy paddle, and you will always be in a group. We will experience the last meander of the Duwamish River, near the Duwamish Longhouse. On the tour, we will likely see Osprey, Eagles, Seals, Purple Martins, Terns and other wildlife. Old sneakers or water shoes are recommended since you will be getting in and out of the boats to get trash on slippery and muddy surfaces, for safety reasons, no crocs or flip flops are allowed.
