The Green River Natural Resources Area spans over 300 acres of restored wetlands and riparian habitat along the Green River, managed jointly by the City of Kent and King County. It's a favorite spot for school field trips, birding groups, nature photography outings, and wildlife education programs — the site hosts herons, bald eagles, and migratory waterfowl through the seasons. Bus access uses the Russell Road entrance, where a gravel staging area accommodates larger vehicles.
Groups coming for educational programs should coordinate with King County's Flood Control District ahead of arrival to confirm access and parking. A charter bus makes the logistics easy for large school groups — undercarriage storage handles all the gear, and the group arrives and departs together.
