Join the Issaquah Alps Trails Club and Green Issaquah for a mulching event at Park Pointe to celebrate Earth Month! We will be following up on our March 15 planting event by adding mulch around 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.
