Stewardship Saturday at Sammamish Cove

Join Trout Unlimited (TU) and the Lake Sammamish Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership (UWRP) as we partner with Green Issaquah on monthly Stewardship Saturday events!

This month we're working along Tibbets Creek, at the City of Issaquah's Sammamish Cove. Join us to dig out blackberry and remove invasive ivy from the riparian area. Tibbets Creek is an important salmon bearing stream and this is an ongoing restoration project to improve habitat and water quality.

Event Details
Meet at 10:00 am at the Tibbetts Beach Parking area of Lake Sammamish State Park. Volunteers will be using shovels, and other tools to dig blackberry, remove ivy, and maintain the area around native plantings as we restore this site.

All community members are welcome, and no experience necessary!

Reserve your spot online. Registration will close at 5:00 pm the day before the event.

What to bring

• Closed-toed shoes are required, such as hiking boots, tennis shoes, or rain boots. Digging will be muddy.
• Don’t forget your water, snacks, and any additional layers to keep yourself comfortable while you’re out.
• We will provide the know-how, gloves, and tools, for everyone to be successful.

Parking
Volunteers will park at the Tibbetts Beach Parking area of Lake Sammamish State Park. Annual Discover Passes will be provided.

Accessibility
This event is family friendly and open to all ages. Stewardship activities will take place on uneven ground including grass, dirt, and trails. There are restroom facilities on site, but will require a short walk from the work site. 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.
