Earth Day Event

Each April, we gather the South Bay community at Hopkins Wilderness Park to enjoy nature, learn to be stewards of the earth, and connect with one another over a mutual respect of all things wild.

Volunteer Opportunities

Community members can volunteer at restoration sites, tabling events, seed packet making and at the nursery at Madrona Marsh Preserve. There’s something for everyone!

Youth programming includes Student Ambassadors, High School Scholarships, Pollinator gardens, Scout activities, JUNP nature walks and more!
