Restoration at Snoqualmie's Climate Change Adaptation Demonstration Forest

July 18, 9am-12pm @ Riverwalk

Thank you for joining us for the Green Snoqualmie Summer of Service! On 7/18/26, from 9 AM-12 PM, we will be weeding around the trees we planted at the Climate Change Adaptation Demonstration Forest (CCADF) in 2024. Each of the tree species at the CCADF, from shore pine to coast redwood, is specially chosen for its adaptations to warming climate conditions. This fall, we will scatter native grass and wildflower seeds and plant shrubs and groundcovers in the areas we've weeded! The spotted towhees, black-tailed bumblebees, and tiger swallowtails will be grateful. Expect to pull Armenian blackberry, English ivy, creeping buttercup, and bird's-foot trefoil. We will also be picking up trash and old tree cages. This is a great opportunity to invest in the future of Snoqualmie's urban forests and meet like-minded community members! Tools and training are provided, and all ages and abilities are welcome. more

Jeanne Hansen Park Planting TLC with Evergreen Treez

July 19, 9am-12pm @ Deer Park

Thank you for joining us for the Green Snoqualmie Summer of Service! On 7/19/26, from 9 AM-12 PM, we will be digging invasive blackberries that have grown up around our past plantings at Jeanne Hansen Park! Jeanne Hansen Park is known for its shady walking trails, soccer fields, and tennis court. It's also the site of some Green Snoqualmie planting events back in 2022 that could use a little TLC! Armenian blackberry forms thickets that choke out and keep out native trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and graminoids. We will have two invasive species removal events here this summer, with one planting/mulching event when it's rainy in the fall. This is a great way to give back to your local forests and get to know like-minded community members! more

The Last of Ivy - WE are the Cure (Silent Creek Forest)

July 25, 9am-12pm @ Northwest Slope

Thank you for joining us for Green Snoqualmie's Summer of Service! This event will be 9 AM-12 PM on Saturday, July 25th at Curtis Park/the Silent Creek Forest. In the hit game and TV show The Last of Us, a Cordyceps-inspired fungus infects humanity, leaving the survivors to rebuild society and search for a cure despite the "infected" lurking in abandoned cities and towns. Similarly, an "infection" is stealthily spreading through Snoqualmie's forests, and you--yes, YOU!-- are the only cure! We in Snoqualmie are hunting down the last of the English ivy, an invasive plant that is infamous for climbing up and strangling trees, all the while growing hundreds of berries to be spread elsewhere in the forest. Not too different from the Cordyceps fungus, which, in real life, parasitizes its host (ants or beetles), forcing the host to get to a high spot and release spores to infect the rest of the colony. This week, we will be working at the Silent Creek Forest. Green Snoqualmie Forest Stewards Alex and Janine have been leading ongoing restoration here since 2022. There are a few patches of invasive English ivy stealthily creeping through the woods, smothering native plants and preparing to take down trees. To protect the woods and prevent it from getting out-of-control, we need YOU to help us pull it all out! Wherever we pull out ivy, we will plant there in the fall when the rain starts again. This event is family-friendly and open to all ages and abilities! more

7/26 Habitat Restoration at the Riverview Park Riverwalk

July 26, 9am-12pm @ Riverwalk

Thank you for joining us for the Green Snoqualmie Summer of Service! On 7/12/26, from 9 AM-12 PM, we will be digging invasive ivy and blackberry at Riverview Park! Restoration at the riverwalk began in 2023, including the planting of many shrubs and trees, from thimbleberry and salmonberry to evergreen huckleberry and Lewis' mock orange. As the shrubs have gotten established, English ivy left over from an old property and Armenian blackberry spread by birds have crept onsite. If left unchecked, these plants WILL take over, eventually leaving nothing but a blackberry thicket and a carpet of ivy. The 'locals'--specialist native birds, beetles, bees, hoverflies, ants, etc--are most hurt, as they find little use for these invaders. Ivy and blackberry don't have any organisms that keep their populations in check, except for us humans. Every vine and root ball you dig out will be replaced with a life-supporting native plant! This is one of the best ways to give back to your local forest and meet like-minded community members. Help us build a healthy habitat and a healthy community! Training begins at 9:15 AM. Feel free to show up as early as 8 AM and stay as late as 1 PM! more
