Green Issaquah: Mulching Event at the Miyawaki Forest

Come join the Issaquah Alps Trails Club and Green Issaquah in mulching Issaquah’s first Miyawaki Forest! This spring, we planted 35 different species of native plants for our Miyawaki Forest. For this event, we will continue to add mulch around our 600+ freshly planted trees and understory plants to help retain moisture, reduce erosion and growth of non-natives like Himalayan blackberry bushes, and ensure the longevity and health of these new additions to Issaquah’s tree canopy. In addition, we will be doing some light weeding and invasive species removal. This event is part of our ongoing efforts to help meet the Issaquah Climate Action Plan goal of 55% tree canopy cover by 2035. You can learn more about the IATC’s work with the Miyawaki Forest here.
