Ready to get your boots muddy? Join us for a fun, invigorating afternoon of volunteer restoration work! You and your fellow volunteers will assist with invasive plant removal, mulching, or planting native plants, depending on the progression of the site's restoration. We will be working in various forested parks throughout the Delridge neighborhood, most of which drain into the Longfellow Creek watershed or are a part of the West Duwamish Greenbelt. Longfellow Creek hosts spawning salmon and is an important tributary to the polluted Duwamish River, while the West Duwamish Greenbelt is the largest contiguous forest in Seattle. If you're interested in habitat and wildlife preservation and enjoy working outdoors, you're in the right place! Information each event's location will be sent out to volunteers via email the day before the event. Please be advised that in observence with US public holidays, some dates will not have any restoration events. If this is the case and you have signed up for a holiday event, we will contact you to let you know there will not be an event.

Paradise Farm is the headquarters site of Farmer Frog. We are growing using permacultural and modern practices, we have livestock, orchard, aquaponics and many other wonderful systems. We share the food with families in the community who have little or no access to fresh food. The space is often visited by schools and children of all ages 0-100, as well as groups who are transitioning, youth detention releasees and folks who live with mental illness. Because the farm is located in the middle of Paradise Valley Conservation Area, it is an important wildlife habitat and restoration site and an educational spot where people can learn how to grow food in harmony with wildlife and the natural ecosystem. Because we are in the conservation area,enter the farm through the Paradise Valley Conservation Area trail-head parking lot. The gate opens to a gravel driveway. Park just on the right side of the gravel driveway. Walk onto the farm.Come volunteer on the farm and learn about farming, food systems, and community! https://www.google.com/maps/place/Paradise+Valley+Conservation+Area+Parking+and+Trail+Head/@47.7886076,-122.0798392,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xdd7f2544c35beaa4!8m2!3d47.7886076!4d-122.0798392
