All ages welcome…Stewardship opportunities abound at our ELCs. You

Environmental Stewardship at Parks means making new friends while learning
about your local environment. Individuals and groups of all ages can
join one day, overnight, and season-long educational programs.
Fulfilling its Education role, Parks is providing programs for nature
enthusiasts, homeowners, and folks interested in their environment through
a host of venues.
From informal to interactive, recreational based programming to special
events and fieldtrips, the department's menu of ES programs has something
for everybody.

Fish-Friendly Car Wash Kit
Available at Camp Long and Carkeek Park. Car washes can be terrific
fundraisers and a great way to build community. But, did you know that
if a car wash is done incorrectly it can hurt local fish and other wildlife?
The soapy water, dirt, and phosphates drain into storm drains and ditches
that lead straight to creeks and into Puget Sound. You can prevent this
harm to wildlife by using the fish-friendly car wash kit. To borrow
the Kit for your next community car wash fundraiser or to find out more
about it call 206-684-7434 at Camp Long or 206-684-0877 at Carkeek Park.
Everyone has an important role to play in caring for our environment and
it's very rewarding to see people give it their best everyday. At Seattle
Parks we have opportunities for everyone to express their definition of
environmental stewardship and learn how to improve their world…
