Upcoming Wetland Nature Walks
If you are interested in learning about the benefits of beavers, including identifying the many species they create habitat for, then please join us for our wetland nature walk.
Buttons are registration links for the following dates and locations:
June 15th at Meadowbrook Pond
June 22nd at Yesler Swamp
Join us for an evening walk and explore how beavers benefit water quality and salmon recovery efforts. Plus, learn about other plants and wildlife found in beaver modified ecosystems!
Our nature walks are typically in the evenings from 8pm to 9:30pm, the best time to see beavers in the summer, at Magnuson Park in Seattle, Washington. Check back in Spring 2022 for our updated walk schedule.
Walks are about 1.5 hours long and totally FREE!
We hope to see you out there!
Nature walks are funded in part by the King County Wastewater Treatment Division WaterWorks Program, and also held in partnership with Magnuson Children's Garden and Seattle Audubon Society.
