In 2011 this event featured local gardener (and celebrity) Ciscoe Morris as our keynote speaker, on how to attract and support wild- life through garden and landscape practices, and creating and preserving wildlife habitat in our region. More than 200 people attended his presentation. This fun event is great for gardeners of all skill levels, in- cluding kids. It's brimming with wildlife - friendly activities, an arts and crafts marketplace, community and educa- tional exhibitors, a recycled art show, Guided Bird Tour with the Rainier Audubon Society and the Certified Back- yard Habitat Garden Tour. Major partners for this event include: City of Tukwila Tukwila Parks & Recreation Seattle Southside Visitor Services Puget Sound Energy National Wildlife Federation REI, Inc. King Conservation District Rainier Audubon Society The City of Tukwila has been the home of the Backyard Wildlife Festival since the beginning — and with good rea- son! Tukwila became the first city in the State to become a certified Community Wildlife Habitat and only the fourth in the country to achieve such an honor. Tukwila Community Center 12424 - 42nd Ave. S.
