Cedar River Stewardship in Action Stewardship-in-Action (SIA) is a collaborative partnership of Seattle Public Utilities, Forterra and

Stewardship in Action (SiA) was created in 2010 to systematically tackle the knotweed and other invasive weeds growing along the Cedar River, bringing back to health this important waterway. The program is a collaborative partnership between Forterra, Seattle Public Utilities and the King County Noxious Weed Control Program. SiA makes a lasting difference by eradicating existing weeds, then planti

ng native gardens along the river to prevent the future invasion of aggressive weeds. Through SiA, Forterra works with local landowners and volunteer groups to restore the banks of the Cedar River one property at a time, in order to increase the runs of threatened salmon and preserve the natural and scenic beauty of our one-of-a-kind river. After five years of consistent effort, the riverbanks are beginning to show signs of recovery; the knotweed is less prevalent, yet the newly cleared riverbanks are susceptible to the invasion of other harmful weeds. We aim to prevent that from happening, using nature as our strongest ally. SiA offers private landowners free design services and installation of native gardens along the Cedar River and its connecting streams. Native plants are the key to a healthy river, and when they are installed by our expert team, they are a beautiful addition to a riverfront space. Community involvement is critical to the success of the Stewardship in Action program, which promotes the message that everyone has a role to play in the rehabilitation and conservation of our region’s natural resources. Participating landowners become representative stewards, sharing their experience with the community and occasionally hosting tours of their property or speaking publicly on behalf of the program.
