Help Fenster Nature Park, Salmon, and the Orcas by maintaining and restoring the shores of the Green River!
Join Mid Sound Fisheries Enhancement Group, Green River Coalition, and the City of Auburn remove non-native invasive species, at Fenster Nature Park, in Auburn from 10 am-1 pm. We remove invasive plants to make room to plant native trees in the winter! Native trees help shade the river for cooler water for salmon, provide fresh clean air, and beautify our parks! Be a part of your community, give back, and meet new people.
