Volunteer for Snoqualmie's Forests!
ORGANIZATION: Forterra
Please visit the new page to apply.
Join the newly formed Green Snoqualmie Partnership in restoring the beautiful Venn Forest. The Green Snoqualmie Partnership is between the City of Snoqualmie, Forterra, the Snoqualmie Tribe, King Conservation District, Mountains to Sound Greenway, the Snoqualmie Ridge ROA and community volunteers and aims to restore and maintain the health of Snoqualmie’s urban forests into the future through volunteer-led restoration events. Work alongside your neighbors as we remove invasive species threatening our native forests and plant native trees and shrubs. Volunteer and become a part of Snoqualmie’s forest legacy!
Forest restoration activities: Remove invasive non-native plants such as Himalayan blackberry and planting native plants in their place. No experience necessary!
What to bring: Come dressed to work outside (rain or shine) with sturdy shoes. Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated. Tools, work gloves, and light snacks provided.
Where to meet: Our sign-in table will be on the north side of SE Venn St. between Venn Ave. SE and Wetting Ave. SE. There may be parking in the surrounding neighborhood but we recommend parking in nearby Swenson Park and walking over.
Youth volunteers: If you are under 18 and attending the event without a parent or guardian, please come to the event with a volunteer application signed by a parent or guardian. The application can be found here: http://forterra.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Snoqualmie-Volunteer-Work-Application.doc

Mission Statement
Forterra's mission is to act with immediacy to protect, enhance and steward our region's most precious resources--its communities and its landscapes. Since 1989, we have been working toward a future in which our children and grandchildren can experience nature in and around our urban environments.
Description
Forterra conserves land by working with individuals, companies and local governments. We strive to maximize the ecological value of land, while meeting the needs of landowners. We may accept land as a donation, purchase it, or transfer it to public ownership. We often serve as a broker to identify and negotiate the most effective ownership to protect important lands. We establish conservation easements to preserve special features. For each and every property, we explore available strategies or create new ones to provide permanent protection. Forterra has established a Conservation Agenda for our region, with specific priorities and methods for each type of landscape. Current initiatives include the protection of working forests on the foothills of the Cascades, and the creation of salmon sanctuaries along our region's highest quality rivers and streams.
