Over 200 volunteers braved the pouring rain to plant trees at Lake Sammamish State Park on Saturday.
This event kicked off the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust’s tree planting season, and enthusiastic volunteers planted the first 2,000 trees in a campaign to plant 25,000 native trees and shrubs this fall.
To improve the ecological condition of the site, the trust has undertaken a multi-year restoration project at the park, bringing volunteers to remove invasive weeds, especially Himalayan and Evergreen blackberry, from along the creek and lakeshore. The Greenway Trust is seeking volunteers for tree planting events each Saturday. To volunteer, visit www.mtsgreenway.org/volunteer or contact 206.812.0122 or volunteer@mtsgreenway.org.
