Location: Tukwila Community Center, 12424 42nd Ave S, Tukwila, WA 98168, USAAs our region is growing and changing, so is the nature of those experiencing homelessness and its environmental impacts to our public lands and waters. In this workshop we will gain a deeper understanding on the changing nature of who is living in our green spaces, their needs, and the impact on our lands and waters. We will look at available resources and collaborations to help maintain the health of environmental restoration sites and the health of those encamped on them through new approaches which provide innovative and collaborative solutions. The workshop’s goal is not to solve homelessness but to better understand it in order to: mitigate the environmental impacts, promote safety for staff, crews and volunteers, connect individuals to support services, and promote positive behaviors of usage which in turn support the environmental health of these areas.
