The Middle Fork Snoqualmie Valley is one of East King County’s truly wild places, with old-growth forests, whitewater rivers, and strong native trout runs.

Cascade Land Conservancy is working with the Mountains to Sound Greenway, local communities and other partners to remove infestations of invasive weeds from the entire valley before they devastate critical habitat.

Land managers and local groups have worked for decades to protect the 110,000-acre Valley – just 30 miles east of Seattle - and make it a better place for low-impact recreation.

Successes include protection of thousands of acres of key habitat, a new campground, construction of miles of new trails, and new river access facilities.

Land managers and community groups are now focused on long-term stewardship, including an Invasive Weed Control Project.

Please join us!

Campout:

Meet at the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Campground at 12: 00 noon, Saturday, June 9th. We'll work for several hours removing invasive plants with hand tools, then settle into camp. Potluck dinner (CLC will provide a main dish). Bring your own camping equipment, sturdy shoes, and dress for the weather. Please RSVP so we can buy the right number of marshmallows!

Sunday Workparty:

On Sunday, we will work from 9-4, with a break for lunch (provided by CLC). You are welcome to join us only for the Sunday work party. Please RSVP so we know you are coming. Meet at the campground at 9:00 a.m.  Again, wear those sturdy shoes and dress for the weather.
