# Event Details - **Event Name**: Bringing Camas Prairies Back to the Upper Snoqualmie Valley - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 02 Oct, 2025 at 07:00 pm – Thu, 02 Oct, 2025 at 08:45 pm - **Event Description**: Join Michael Bailey for a talk discussing tribal efforts to restore camas prairies to the upper Snoqualmie Valley.About this EventCamas Meadows in the Snoqualmie Valley are cited in the Snoqualmie Tribe's creation story and early settler accounts, referring to the miles of expansive prairies above the falls as "here the land is good." After many years organizing and talking with partners, the Tribe's Environmental & Natural Resources Department (ENR) has installed 18 experimental prairie plots, bringing many native grass and forb species back to the Snoqualmie Valley. These plots will help teach us how to bring back this lost ecology and reconnect all forms of life with the camas prairies that use to cover the upper Snoqualmie ValleyMichael Bailey is the ENR Outreach Manager with the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe’s Environmental & Natural Resources Department, where he has worked for the last 6 years. With a degree in Plant Biology, and a certificate in Wetland Science & Management, he now works to connect people and local landscapes in the Snoqualmie River Valley and east side of Lake Sammamish, where the Snoqualmie Tribe has stewarded land since time immemorial. In his own past, Michael has also worked in academic research, conservation in local governments, prescribed burning, education/outreach, and commercial nurseries. He is a published co-author in post-disturbance forest ecology, and also serves on the board with Beavers Northwest advocating for in place management of the keystone species.Program will be in-person & live streamed via Zoom.
