Give back to one of our favorite parks with a post-holiday clean up! Join the Three Rivers Chapter of Trout Unlimited and members of the Lake Sammamish Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership (UWRP) for this fun and meaningful community event at Lake Sammamish State Park.

Event Details: Meet at 10:00 am on September 8th at the Sunset Beach Bathhouse at Lake Sammamish State Park for a special park clean up. Volunteers will spread out around the park to help pick up trash after the busy Labor Day weekend. All volunteers who participate are invited to gather after the event for refreshments.

Discover Pass: Participants will receive an annual Discover Pass for volunteering (limited to one per vehicle/group).

What to bring: Water and a snack if needed. Please dress for the weather. Gloves, buckets, bags, and trash grabbers will be provided.

Accessibility: This event is open to people of all ages and abilities. Clean up activities will take place around Lake Sammamish State Park on uneven ground including sand, grass, gravel and paved trails. The park has accessible facilities. We understand everyone experiences the outdoors differently and we are open to working with anyone that needs additional support. Please contact us in advance so that we can do our best to accommodate your needs and/or find a way for you or your group to have fun participating in our event.

Roadless areas are under threat from a proposed rule change that will open up lands to more negative impacts to the environment that we all cherish. Whether you use roadless areas directly or not, please consider submitting comments regarding this ill-conceived rule change.

We are public lands. Public lands are our birthright as American citizens. And we will not give them up.

The land that was to be used for an asphalt plant near the Cedar River has been purchased by King County with it being turned into a park in the future. This is a big win, resulting for a lot of work by concerned citizens. Thanks to everyone who helped!

A peaceful area along the Cedar River between Renton and Maple Valley was about to take a turn for the industrial.

🌿 GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY FOR SALMON 🐟

Join Three Rivers Trout Unlimited for our next **Stewardship Saturday** along Issaquah Creek!

📅 Saturday, September 12
⏰ 10 AM–12 PM
📍 Issaquah Creek near Pickering Barn
🌱 No experience needed. We’ll bring the tools, gloves & know-how!

We’ll be getting to work removing invasive blackberry and ivy, caring for native plantings, and continuing the restoration of this important salmon-bearing stream.

And since we’ll be right next to the **Issaquah Farmers Market**, you can make a morning of it! Stop by the market, lend a hand for a little while, or stick around for the whole work party.

Every blackberry rootball out of the ground is a little more room for a healthier streamside forest. 💪🌲

**All ages and experience levels are welcome.**

🎟️ Registration is free, but please reserve your spot ahead of time.
