Bring your friends and family out to volunteer along Lake Sammamish with Friends of the Cedar River Watershed and City of Sammamish! Sammamish Landing is an 8.23 acre site located along the eastern shore of Lake Sammamish and is the only stretch of shoreline property along Lake Sammamish that is in public ownership within City limits. The southern section of Sammamish Landing contains invasive plants that threaten to spread and degrade habitat. Volunteers will work to restore this important shoreline to a more natural and sustainable state by removing invasive plants this spring and summer and replanting with native trees and shrubs in the fall. Come out to improve habitat by weeding invasive plants and creating compost platforms!

Mission: Engaging people to enhance and sustain watersheds through restoration, education, and stewardship.
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.
