Join Mid Sound Fisheries, Green River Coalition, the City of Auburn, and your community members as we restore the shores of the Green-Duwamish River! Forests keep water clean and clear for salmon, but blackberry tends to grow in a monoculture, preventing a diversity of plants from forming a healthy forest. At our event we’ll be clearing blackberry from areas along the Green river to prepare for planting a future forest!
The event will begin with a brief discussion that includes information about the site, the partnering organizations, why this work is important, tool use, and safety.

4th Friday Fishing for Answers
2023-09-22 09:00 - 10:00 | WA
Our monthly walk & talk will meet at the overflow parking lot for Point No Point, on Point No Point Rd, just E of Hillview Lane. While County repair work on the North Beach continues, we’ll walk along the road toward the lighthouse, and down the marsh trail to view the project footprint. We’ll review where we are in the early Preliminary Design Phase (working toward 30%). If you have questions, we’ll either answer them or collect and field them to someone in the position to respond. If you have observations to share, we’ll document them, and if you have concerns, this is a good time to learn where along the design timeline your concerns might be addressed.
If you’re new to the project, we can talk about the West Sound Nearshore Integration and Synthesis of Chinook Salmon Recovery Priorities that has listed the Point No Point Estuary Restoration project as the top priority project, out of 333 restoration projects assessed, to benefit Chinook salmon recovery. The project supports coastal resilience at the Puget Sound level, the Kitsap County level, and at the level of the neighborhoods surrounding and uphill of Point No Point Park.
The hope is that our twice monthly walks (see also 2nd Mondays Tide Talk) can provide a more thorough understanding of the project’s goals and limitations. Direct communication on site might ease some of the fear associated with the power of mother nature that landowners on this block know very well, and take some of the power away from misinformation that can throw a lot of confusion into a longterm, well-documented study. These outreach opportunities, and the slides, meeting notes, and FAQs on our website will hopefully keep us grounded in our Design Timeline. We hope that you’ll feel welcome to join us to help determine which problems the project hopes to solve, and which problems are really outside of the project scope. We look forward to learning from you and sharing your observations with the partners who will potentially be there down the line to help regulate changes that might come to this very special place.
Bring your camera to help document our work.
Please respect the neighbors by parking in designated overflow parking spaces only.
We look forward to seeing you at 9am!

2nd Monday Tides Talk at the Hansgrill
2023-10-09 17:00 - 18:00 | Hansgrill, 7525 NE Twin Spits Rd, Hansville, WA
Come to our monthly late afternoon sit-down chat.
We meet on the 2nd Monday at the Hansgrill… it’s a nice time for us to check in with the community. If you have observations or questions to bring to the community’s attention, and you’re either not a morning person, not a big walker, or you work during the day, this is your time. Tea or coffee will be served.
