Spring is nearly here, and it is time to dig in! Spend a lovely morning next to scenic Rattlesnake Lake on March 4th while planting a forest of native shrubs and trees. We’ll have an amazing view of the lake and the popular Rattlesnake Ledge, plus the occasional wildlife sighting while we work. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to take a quick tour of the facility with a Seattle Public Utilities staff member. There is an extensive history to this place with many entertaining stories to be told!
Who: All ages are welcome to volunteer with us! Please bring a signed youth waiver if you are under the age of 18 and volunteering without a guardian present. Youth under the age of 15 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
What to bring: Dress for the weather and wear sturdy, closed-toed shoes that can get muddy. Bring a reusable water bottle and a coffee mug if you have them - we’ll fill them! Snacks will be provided, but be sure to bring a sack lunch.
Where: This event is located at the Cedar River Watershed Education Center in North Bend. There is a designated parking lot for volunteers located very close to the work site. Event signs will be posted on the road to guide drivers in the right direction. We encourage carpooling to make your trip as pleasant and sustainable as possible!
Please register all individuals in advance so that we can plan for your participation. If you are a group organizer and are unable to register each person, please email Michelle Quast with the total number of people in your group at mquast@forterra.org. Thank you!

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.
