- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
We will be removing weeds like blackberry, bindweed, and reed canary grass to give our native plants some room to breathe and to make room for new plantings this fall.
Use the West Entrance (Field Trip Entrance) to meet at the covered picnic tables at the far end of the parking area. We will meet at the start time and walk to our restoration site from there. Bring a water bottle, garden pruners or clippers, a trowel, gloves and any other gardening tools that you like to use if you have them. Gloves and shovels will be provided if you need them. You are welcome to stay after the event to have a picnic. Depending on what is growing, farm treats and/or native seedlings may be available, so bring a bag or box in case we’re able to do some u-picking after the event!

Mission Statement
Our mission is to inspire people to eat healthy, sustainably grown food and to steward our natural resources for future generations. By creating connections to, curiosity about, and confidence in nature, Oxbow Education (OxEd) lays the foundation for future stewards of the Earth, giving people the tools and inspiration to cultivate their own relationship with their community, the food they eat, and the natural world.
Description
The Center is located on 240 acres of forest and grassland bordered by Western Washington’s Snoqualmie River. We use this mixed landscape to:
Produce food. We cultivate 30 acres of mixed vegetable crops using agro-ecological principles and engage in research to inform conservation farming practice.
Grow native plants. We operate a native plant nursery that produces plants for habitat restoration projects, educational gardens, and urban landscapes, and conducts research on native plant propagation using sustainable growing methods.
Connect children to nature. We offer environmental education programs for children pre-K thru high school to build their comfort in the outdoors and provide them with opportunities to learn about the links between agriculture, conservation, and the environment.
