Project Description

Plant enthusiasts, hikers and other concerned citizens are encouraged to join the ongoing effort to locate (and control) invasive species in the beautiful Middle Fork Snoqualmie Valley. For more information, see the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust website. Although the 2007 training date is past, volunteers are still needed. You can join an existing group or choose your own trails to survey.
