Join Trout Unlimited (TU) and the Lake Sammamish Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership (UWRP) as we partner with Green Issaquah on monthly Stewardship Saturday events!
This month, we'll be working at the Anthology Open Space to remove invasive species, primarily blackberry bushes, to clear space to native plant trees in the wetland area along a section of Tibbetts Creek.
Reserve your spot online. Registration will close at 5:00 pm the day before the event.
When: June 8, 2024 from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Where: Anthology Open Space, Issaquah (Directions) Meet at the start of the boardwalk along 19th Ave NW, across from the Rowley Storage Units.
Parking: Volunteers will park 19th Ave NW in the public parking spaces. Carpooling recommended.
Hosts: Gibson Ek High School, Trout Unlimited
What to bring: Volunteers will be using loppers, shovels, and other tools to cut and dig blackberry out as we prep the site for future native tree plantings.
Closed-toed shoes are required.
Don’t forget your water, snacks, and any additional layers to keep yourself comfortable while you’re out.
We will provide the know-how, gloves, and tools, for everyone to be successful.
Accessibility: This event is family friendly and open to all ages. Stewardship activities will take place on uneven ground including grass, dirt, and boardwalk trails. There are no restroom facilities on site. We understand everyone experiences the outdoors differently and we are open to working with anyone that needs additional support.
