Dig in to Care for Snoqualmie's Forests at Azalea Park
ORGANIZATION: Forterra
Please visit the new page to apply.
- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Join the Green Snoqualmie Partnership as we work to manage the forest growing at the trailhead of the Deep Creek Trail, Snoqualmie Ridge’s connector to the Snoqualmie-Preston Regional Trail down below, at Azalea Park. We will be removing invasive weeds that have begun to grow at this forested edge and care for plants previous volunteers have planted. It is vital that we care for sites like this and prevent aggressive weeds from establishing along trailheads where they can spread deeper into the forest; weed seeds are known to hitchhike in the shoes of unknowing hikers. Join us in protecting our community’s forests!
What to bring: Come dressed to work outside (rain or shine) with sturdy shoes. Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated. Snacks, tools, and work gloves provided.
Please Note: Try not to leave anything valuable visible in your vehicle.
If you are under 18 and will NOT be accompanied by supervising adult/parent/guardian you will need to bring the youth waiver release form signed by your parent/guardian to the event.
Green Snoqualmie Partnership Vision: A city with healthy forests that provide high-value habitat for wildlife and access for residents and visitors to experience nature, supported by an aware and engaged community that is working together to restore and care for these lands.

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.
