Join Us for our Fall Restoration Series Starting in September

FLSSP has been working hard to help maintain Lake Sammamish State Park since 2013. One way that we work to improve our park for community and wildlife is through leading landscape restoration work throughout the park. This work is not possible without the many many hours of time and labor generously donated by countless volunteers over the years. We want to thank you for your past work with us and invite you to come on out to the park this fall and get your hands dirty again to help us make this space even better.

On our end we have been working hard to ensure that we have a robust plan for our fall work. Starting in September FLSSP Board, staff and volunteers will be working at the Sunset Beach playground and bump out gardens to clear the area of invasives and plant a few more natives that will help make our park even better. In that same September timeframe State Parks staff will be working with us at our Bat Box Meadow site to help clear the top layer of blackberries by mowing in that area (thank you WA State Park staff). In October FLSSP volunteers will be moving over to working at our Bat Box Meadows restoration area off the Orchard Loop trail clearing out the blackberries stumps left after mowing and getting that site ready for our first fall planting. In November with your help we will be planting more than 100 trees and shrubs in our Bat Box Meadows area in our first restoration planting effort at this site. We hope you consider joining us for one or all of our restoration series this fall. To learn more please see our events page here.
