Jeanne Hansen Park Restoration Site MaintenanceSeptember 05, 9am-12pm @ Deer Park Thank you for joining us for the Green Snoqualmie Summer of Service! Mark your calendar for Saturday, September 5th, from 9 AM to 12 PM, to join a group of community volunteers for an ecological restoration at Jeanne Hansen Park! Jeanne Hansen Park, named in honor of Snoqualmie's mayor from 1987 to 1997, contains athletic fields, a tennis court, a playground, and hiking trails! People of all ages come to visit, and so does an assortment of wildlife, from varied thrushes to spotted towhees. A collective effort from years of volunteers has succeeded in strengthening the forest edge and boosting the biodiversity of the forest! This site was the focus of Green Snoqualmie Day 2019, MLK Day of Service 2022, and restoration by Wilderness Awareness School students. It is our duty to build on their work by expanding the forest and keeping out aggressive blackberry! This is one of the best ways to give back to your local forest and meet like-minded forest advocates. Help us build a healthy habitat and a healthy community! more |

Keep Ivy Out of the Fairy Forest at Silent Creek!September 06, 9am-12pm @ Northwest Slope There's a mysterious family of fairies living in the Silent Creek Forest, but they never seem to be home... On Sunday, September 6th, come help remove a patch of ivy just across the trail from a little fairy house along the Silent Creek Trail! As part of the Green Snoqualmie Summer of Service, the City of Snoqualmie Urban Forestry & Stormwater Department is hosting various habitat restoration projects and educational events with the aim of connecting local citizens to the nature around all of us, giving everyone the opportunity to make a difference, and protecting Snoqualmie's forests for centuries to come. YOU are invited! Come back in the fall to plant here with us! Ivy climbs out of the backyards of unassuming residents, only to climb trees and spread seeds. In the process, trees become weighed down, more susceptible to rot, and likely to fall from the wind catching the ivy like a sail. There have been five known populations of English ivy in the Silent Creek Forest, and thanks to Green Snoqualmie volunteers, that number is now only three. Help us with our goal of complete ivy eradication and munch on some juicy huckleberries in the meantime! more |

More Plants at Muir & Douglas!September 13, 9am-12pm @ North Ridge Thank you for joining us for the Green Snoqualmie Summer of Service! On 9/13/26, from 9 AM-12 PM, join us for a fun volunteer event at the forest at the corner of SE Muir St and Douglas Ave SE in Snoqualmie Ridge! We will be taking care of our natural areas by planting dozens of native plants along the forest edge, where volunteers planted the first round of plants in November 2024. Successful stewardship of natural areas requires constant maintenance and monitoring of invasive plant species that prevent the regeneration of young trees, shrubs, and forbs. In 2024, here at the Silent Creek Forest, the City of Snoqualmie invested in the removal of the vast majority of the Armenian blackberry. The Lewis' mock orange, snowberry, and Sitka spruce have come in quite well, but there is plenty of space that still needs to be filled in. Let's plant! Ecologists know that biodiverse ecosystems are the most resilient ecosystems. Before Snoqualmie Ridge, there were little to no drought-adapted and full sun-adapted plants in what is now the forest edge along Douglas Ave SE. In November 2024, a large group of volunteers planted superb sun-loving native plants that will create tree canopy and provide blackberry resistance on the edge. This forest edge is particularly long, so this planting project will bring in more native shrubs, deciduous trees, and some wildflowers! This is one of the best ways to give back to your local forest and meet like-minded forest advocates. Help us build a healthy habitat and a healthy community! Tools and training are provided, and all ages and abilities are welcome. more |

Planting Day at Stillwater Bog!September 19, 9am-12pm @ North Ridge Mark your calendar to join Green Snoqualmie Partnership and your community for a fun volunteer event! We will be taking care of our natural areas by planting on Saturday, September 19th, 2026, at Stillwater Bog in Snoqualmie Ridge! On Earth Day 2024, Green Snoqualmie held a blackberry pulling event at this spot. It is finally time to revegetate the area and make sure the blackberry doesn't get the chance to come back! This is one of the best ways to give back to your local forest and meet like-minded forest advocates. Help us build a healthy habitat and a healthy community! Tools, snacks, and training are provided, and all ages and abilities are welcome. more |

The Silent Creek Forest Planting Party!September 20, 9am-12pm @ Northwest Slope Thank you for joining us for the Green Snoqualmie Summer of Service! On Sunday, 9/20/26, from 9 AM-12 PM, join a group of community volunteers for a fun planting event at the Silent Creek Forest, located down the trail from Curtis Park in Snoqualmie Ridge! We will be planting native plants along the trail and the north edge of the stormwater pond, where volunteers have removed invasive blackberry and ivy over the course of three volunteer events this summer. As Armenian blackberry produces berries, birds and mammals spread some of the seeds. The rest of the seeds simply fall to the ground, awaiting the perfect conditions: sunlight, moisture, and warmth. When we dig blackberry, we inadvertently bring their seeds to the soil surface, allowing them to germinate the minute that the conditions are right. By planting and mulching, we prevent the blackberry seeds from accessing sunlight and moisture. Additionally, we are able to select native plants that will feed pollinators and wildlife, those proven to compete well against blackberry, and those that will tolerate drought as summers get hotter and drier. This is one of the best ways to give back to your local forest and meet like-minded forest advocates. Help us build a healthy habitat and a healthy community! Tools, snacks, and training are provided, and all ages and abilities are welcome. more |
