This is a hybrid event happening at Tukwila Community Center and via Zoom!

Did you know that we have Blue Herons in Tukwila? They have been seen in the parks and along the riverbed throughout Tukwila. A couple years ago we had a large nest at Bicentennial Park with babies!

With snow on the ground and an expected high of 32 degrees tomorrow, it's too cold to host our planned volunteer event, so we've cancelled.

We'll be on holiday break next week and back at it again on Saturday, January 7. Thanks for all your help in 2022, and we look forward to seeing you soon!
