Join Friends of the Cedar River Watershed and King County Parks for a day of habitat restoration along the Cedar River at Belmondo Reach Natural Area! Belmondo Reach Natural Area is known as a high priority on the Cedar River for habitat conservation and restoration projects. This natural area contains a meandering bend of the river, great aquatic habitat for salmon and other fish. The Cedar River is a valuable resource for our community; its headwaters are in an ecological forest preserve that provides clean drinking water for over one million residents, it supports numerous recreational activities year-round, as well as federally-listed threatened salmon populations. Volunteers will help to maintain restoration progress by weeding a planting site!

Description
The Cedar River Watershed, located just 30 miles from Seattle, is the principal water source for those living and working in Seattle and King County. It is an unparalleled preserve of wilderness, old growth forest and clean, pure water. Seattle is one of only six cities its size in North America able to rely on a protected watershed to supply clean, safe, affordable water. This watershed hosts a diverse ecosystem of wildlife including spotted owls, common loons, osprey, cougar, black bear and bull trout. It also provides water for the largest run of sockeye salmon in the lower 48 states. Friends of the Cedar River Watershed ensures the long-term stewardship of this vital ecosystem, provides and promotes environmental education - especially for children - and educates the public about the importance of the Cedar River Watershed.
