Join the community for Green Snoqualmie Day on October 7, 2023, where we will plant over 400 conifer trees at the Three Forks Natural Area. This eco-friendly event promotes environmental stewardship and encourages participants to leave a legacy by contributing to local forestry. Families and individuals of all ages are invited to partake in this engaging activity, which nurtures the local ecosystem and strengthens community bonds. Attendees should prepare for the weather by wearing durable clothing and shoes, and bringing their own refillable coffee mugs and water bottles to reduce waste. Tools and gloves will be provided, along with refreshments to keep participants energized.

The event runs from 9 AM to 12 PM, with parking located at Centennial Fields. To ensure a smooth experience, participants are encouraged to arrive by 8:45 AM for a brief orientation and walk to the planting site. For more information, contact Jason Battles via email.
