Activities

Thank you for joining us for the Green Snoqualmie Summer of Service! On 8/9/26, we will have an ecological restoration work party at the Silent Creek Forest from 9 AM-12 PM.

Are blackberries your jam? They sure are delicious, but did you know that there are two invasive species of blackberry here in Washington that are jamming up our forests and choking out native species? It's true--Armenian blackberry and cutleaf blackberry! But fear not, citizen hero, those blackberries will meet you and a small group of likeminded forest advocates. Clad in thick gloves, long sleeves, and pants (trust me). You'll use a variety of hand tools to lay waste to these forest invaders while chatting it up with your neighbors and enjoying the beauty of this important urban forest.

Tools and training are provided, and all ages and abilities are welcome.

All ages OK

What to Bring

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes, long pants, and long sleeves that can get dirty and will protect you from blackberry thorns. Avoid sandals!

Dress for the weather: sunscreen/sunglasses if it’s sunny, or rain gear if rain is in the forecast.

A water bottle and snacks

Print and bring a signed Youth Waiver if you are under 18 and without a guardian.

A great attitude :)

Your favorite pair of gloves, if you wish. Tools and gloves are provided!
