[Tweeters] Bird and advocacy outing at Magnuson Park

[Josh Morris via Tweeters]

Hi all,

Inviting anyone in the Seattle area to join a walk at the Magnuson Park wetlands on March 3 at 10 am. Free to join, just let us know you're coming by registering here: Bird and Advocacy Outing at the Restored Wetlands at Magnuson Park<https://secure.birdsconnectsea.org/ZRi9fKiA2k6EoQpjXG47wQ2>

The restored wetlands are the third largest freshwater wetland complex in Seattle and are home to more than 100 native wildlife species, including 80 bird species, and are human made. They were constructed between 2008-2012 at a cost of more than $3 million to Seattle taxpayers, a major investment in wetland habitat enhancement and nature access.

Now, the City of Seattle is threatening that investment with plans to build a noisy outdoor pickleball facility directly adjacent to the wetlands.
As we look for signs of spring among the ponds, we'll talk about the history of the wetlands, why they are important to people and wildlife, and how you can help protect them.
Thank you, hope to see you out there 🙂
