Restoration Work Party at Park Pointe

The Issaquah Alps Trails Club and Green Issaquah are organizing a restoration work party at Park Pointe on September 21, 2024, inviting community members to join their efforts in ecological restoration. Participants will focus on removing invasive blackberry bushes that threaten local biodiversity and will plant trees to bolster the area's forest health. This initiative is part of Issaquah's Climate Action Plan, which seeks to increase tree canopy cover to 55% by the year 2035. Registration is required for those who wish to participate, emphasizing the organized nature of the event. Even if individuals cannot attend, they are encouraged to sign up for the Green Issaquah newsletter to remain engaged with ongoing environmental efforts.

The work party not only serves a practical purpose but also fosters community involvement and awareness around sustainability issues. This event reflects a broader commitment from local organizations to protect natural resources and enhance the quality of life in Issaquah. For those interested in contributing to this cause, more information and registration details can be found on the event's webpage.
