2nd Saturday Work Party Feb 12, 2022 10am – 1pm

February 8, 2022 By Marla Master

We’ll be working on the Stevens Site in Magnolia. Weed out invasive plants and mulch natives to help numerous bird species, amphibians, & mountain beavers – and see what’s already sprouting and budding in your local forest. We’ll also take a short walking tour to our other nearby restoration sites.  No experience necessary. Come for the whole time – or drop by for an hour.

Dress for the weather, in clothes you can get snagged and muddy. (We have tools and gloves)

Meet at the Park entrance beside 4433 Brygger Dr W, just north of W Government Way and 34th Ave W.

Sign up here: https://seattle.greencitypartnerships.org/event/20897/

Please contact us at workparty@heronhelpers.org to learn more.

Please wear a mask.

2nd Saturday Work Party • Dec 8 • 9:30am-1:30pm

December 7, 2018 By Marla Master

Volunteer with Heron Habitat Helpers as we continue restoring forested habitat in Kiwanis Ravine. Come for the whole time, or an hour or two. This month we’ll weed out invasive plants to help native plants get established. Learn to identify native and alien species and get ideas for your own backyard wildlife gardening. Kiwanis ravine is home to numerous bird species, amphibians, mountain beavers, and other wildlife, and it’s an important green buffer for the great blue heron nesting colony at the Ballard Locks.

Get Involved – You Can Make A Difference!

October 24, 2017 By Marla Master

Whether you have an hour a month — or an hour a week — consider using your skills to impact your community and natural environment.

Volunteering with Heron Habitat Helpers is fun — and goes beyond weeding and planting. Some options are writing a guest blog, helping us with social media communications, creating fundraising ideas and events, and general assistance for projects we already have underway. Have ideas of your own? That’s what we’re looking for… email us today: membership@heronhelpers.org

Volunteer Opportunities

It's not all digging in the dirt!

Let us know what piques your interest and skill set. We're open to your ideas so don't hesitate to contact us to chat. Some current needs are:

• Monitor the colony - We’re looking for enthusiastic citizen scientists who will volunteer to observe and record data on a large colony of great blue herons next to the Ballard Locks in Seattle. Volunteer hours will be a minimum of once/week, three hours/day during heron breeding season – March to early August. No previous experience necessary. We will train.

• Content creation - We'd love to post your articles and photos on our website and social media pages. We're open to subjects about birds - especially herons, native plants, your nature volunteer experiences, etc. Submit your ideas or contact us for more info!

• Reaching out - Help us increase our presence in the community. We plan on having a table at a few farmers markets over the summer and hosting special events. We could use a hand!

• Signage at the Locks - We're working on information signs about herons that will be posted at the Locks. Got design skills?

• Get on Board - HHH is looking for passionate people who want to be on the Board. Work with us to promote our mission and grow HHH into the future.
