			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On a particularly hot Thursday afternoon we cruised south to the West Duwamish Greenbelt. There we found a few dozen superheros putting their powers to good as they worked at ridding the largest contiguous forest within Seattle city limits of evil, invasive, non-native plant species.</p>
<p>Banded together under the <a href="http://www.naturec.org/index.htm" target="_blank">Nature Consortium</a> they worked at saving the homes of countless foxes, red-legged frogs, hawks, and bald eagles. This grassroots, community-based organization&#8217;s mission is to connect people, arts and nature. Their <a href="http://www.naturec.org/restoration.htm" target="_blank">Urban Forest Restoration</a> Project successfully does this through long-term stewardship and restoration of the West Duwamish Greenbelt. They also are responsible for a <a href="http://www.naturec.org/art.htm" target="_blank">Youth Art Program</a> and the <a href="http://www.naturec.org/festival.htm" target="_blank">Arts in Nature Festival</a>.</p>
<p>Several days a week you can find volunteer superheros removing invasive species, mulching, doing site maintenance, and planting, all to keep the Duwamish Greenbelt pristine and clean for you and me.</p>
<p>Check out their <a href="http://restoration.naturec.org" target="_blank">blog </a>for more information on how you too can become a superhero! Shazam!</p>
