An annual tradition, the Greenway Trust is hosting a series of native tree and shrub plantings starting with the October 15th Kick-Off. Sponsored in part by REI, Carter Subaru & Carter Volkswagon, and KMTT- The Mountain the celebration will feature food, music and vendors for the whole family to enjoy, plus plenty of trees to plant. The Kick-Off will be at Lake Sammamish State Park where over the past five years, volunteers have worked hard to remove invasive species and reestablish native plant communities throughout the park. This year we are working on a new 7-acre area along Issaquah Creek. Volunteers have spent the spring and summer months removing invasive species from this site to get it ready for this fall. We will be planting several thousand native trees and shrubs along the banks to create better salmon and wildlife habitat.
