Invasive removal in a valuable wildlife habitat:

Join us on March 29, 9am - 1pm for a work party to restore this property along Issaquah Creek at the Log Cabin Reach Natural Area.  This 118-acre site stands out in the Issaquah Creek basin for its high quality stream habitat.  Chinook, coho, and sockeye salmon; and cutthroat and steelhead trout are present in Issaquah Creek.  A designated wildlife corridor along Issaquah Creek connects the site with the Cedar River Watershed and Taylor Mountain to the Southeast, Tiger Mountain to the east, and Squak and Cougar Mountains to the north and northwest.         

The site supports open fields with a large wetland area rising to a high grassy hill. There is a healthy riparian corridor dominated by deciduous trees and shrubs, and a mature conifer forest on the hillside above. The size and variety of habitats lend this site particular importance in a landscape characterized by rural residential development. This site is of a size that may support large mammals such as bear, as well as a diversity of birds, smaller mammals, and other wildlife.

What to bring:
Boots, work clothes, gloves, rain gear, and a water bottle.

*Snacks and drinks will be provided.

Directions:
• Take 1-90 E to the Front Street exit (exit 17) in Issaquah.  Turn right off of the exit ramp towards City Center.
• Follow Front St., which becomes Issaquah-Hobart Rd., for approximately 5 miles.
• Take a right on Cedar Grove Rd., which is at the stop light just after you see the Tiger Mountain Store on your right.
• Go 0.3 miles down Cedar Grove Rd. and turn right into the opening in the guardrail that starts as the road curves to the left. (It’s a small gravel road.)
