Volunteer Opportunity: Restoration at Park Pointe
Join the Issaquah Alps Trails Club and Green Issaquah for a weeding and invasive species removal event at Park Pointe! We will be weeding around the trees we planted this past spring as well as removing Himalayan blackberry bushes, if time allows. In doing so, we hope to ensure the longevity and health of these newest 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.
