Come celebrate Earth Day and join the Issaquah Alps Trails Club and Green Issaquah in mulching Issaquah’s first Miyawaki Forest! This special event will be dedicated to adding mulch around our 500+ freshly planted native trees and understory plants to help retain moisture, reduce erosion and growth of non-natives like Himalayan blackberry bushes, and ensure the longevity and health of these new additions to Issaquah’s tree canopy. This event is part of our ongoing efforts to help meet the Issaquah Climate Action Plan goal of 55% tree canopy cover by 2035.
