Help dismantle our tool shed. Sunday April 16 – 9:00 am

March 31, 2023 By Marla Master

Seeking volunteers to help dismantle our tool shed.
Sunday April 16 – 9:00 am in Kiwanis Ravine
(in case of rain we will postpone)

This shed was built as an Eagle Scout project for HHH many years ago. We were using the shed to hold tools but after a break in (they did not actually steal the tools) we took the opportunity to move the tools to a safer location. It’s been locked and empty for a long time, but has now attracted more serious vandalism.

If you have skills to assist – it would be much appreciated.
Please contact us: membership@heronhelpers.org

Volunteer Open House Sunday, March 5, 2023 11:00 am – 12:30 pm at Commodore Park

February 16, 2023 By Marla Master

Drop by the colony to learn about what Heron Habitat Helpers (HHH) does to support Seattle’s largest colony of nesting great blue herons and how you can get involved.


BECOME A HERON MONITOR
Each season, our monitoring team observes the colony and notes what the herons are doing in each nest. Are they courting? Incubating eggs? Feeding chicks? By noting the date of these events we can learn how long it takes for an egg to hatch, the duration of nesting season, how many chicks hatch, how many fledged, and yes, how many may have been taken by predators. The more we understand, the more we can help protect the colony. This volunteer opportunity runs March until August, and takes 2-3 hours, once per week. We will train and work with you as needed. No experience necessary.

CARE ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE? HELP A FOREST GROW
We’re looking for enthusiastic people to adopt a habitat area to do weeding and maintenance on your own schedule, once a week, once a month, or whatever works best for you. There are 5 restoration sites in Magnolia. We will train, and can coordinate other volunteers to work with you as needed. No experience necessary. You’ll have ongoing support from our native plant and habitat restoration team.

BE PART OF OUR TEAM
Work with us to create and post social media content, update our website, assist at public events, work on fundraising etc…
Got skills or other ideas? Let’s chat!

HHH is and always has been a 100% volunteer organization!
Help keep our forested parks healthy and make a difference to our local wildlife and our planet! No experience necessary.
