Schedule of Events

In February 2006, we will work with other organizations and school students to plan the events and develop multi-lingual educational and promotional materials.
In March, the artists with a group of core volunteers will construct the barge at the Duwamish Shipyard and install the barge at its final location.
In April, a month of events bring the focus to the Living Barge, the Duwamish, and the neighborhoods that surround it (see full schedule BOB, can you put a link here to the highlighted text below?).
In May, we will move the barge back to the Duwamish Shipyard, dismantle the installation, and move the plants to Cesar Chavez Park. Volunteers will plant the plants on the back slope of the park as a native plant restoration project.
