		VOLUNTEER FOR THE NEXT WORK PARTY: SAT, SEPT. 18, 9-12. RSVP here: www.earthcorps.org/volunteer/event/a0E1E00000QKthFUAT/It’s not well known, but some of the most beautiful views in Tacoma are found in the Port of Tacoma or, more accurately, the delta of the Puyallup River. All of what is now known as the “Port of Tacoma” was once pristine estuary. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional fishing and gathering grounds of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. Per terms of the 1854 Medicine Creek Treaty, all of what is now known as the “Port of Tacoma” was land reserved in perpetuity for the Puyallup Tribe. It was subsequently stolen from them, developed for heavy industry, dredged, filled, and polluted beyond recognition.These photos are taken at qʷiqʷəlut — the salt marsh that 350 Tacoma has stewarded for nearly four years — located deep in the industrial Port of Tacoma, between a fossil fuel oil terminal and a container shipping yard.We hold work parties typically on the third Saturday of each month, and welcome volunteers to help us!! RSVP here: www.earthcorps.org/volunteer/event/a0E1E00000QKthFUAT/Our goal is to love this little salt marsh back to health. We restore native plants on the site, pull out invasive weeds, pick up garbage, and teach people about the history of the port and show them the beauty of the Tideflats.The salt marsh was initially named for a French chemical company — Rhone Poulenc — that once operated on this site, but in consultation with the Puyallup Tribal Language Program we have officially restored a native Twulshootseed place name: qʷiqʷəlut (“little marsh”).Come join us! #puyalluptribe #qwiqwelut #standwithpuyallup #refinerytown #saltmarsh #siterestoration #naturalclimatesolutions #climatejustice #environmentaljustice
