Protecting Snoqualmie’s forests is a community effort, and the Green Snoqualmie Partnership is inviting residents to be part of it. Through hands-on restoration projects, volunteers help remove invasive species, plant native vegetation, and care for the green spaces that define the Snoqualmie Valley landscape.
The partnership focuses on preserving the long-term health of local forests while creating opportunities for people of all ages to connect with nature and contribute to the stewardship of the region’s natural areas.
Forest Restoration Silent Creek
Activities
Join in on March 21st to pull invasive ivy and dig Armenian blackberry to protect and restore the Silent Creek Forest! A small patch of ivy has spread from nearby backyards, and the city needs your help to pull it out before it becomes too expensive to eradicate. Ivy climbs trees, catches the wind, and topples them like a ship’s sail.
The Silent Creek forest is one of the City’s most beautiful and precious natural areas, so let’s take good care of it!
All ages OK

Meadowbrook – Rejuvenate Centennial Rain Garden
Activities
Join Stewardship Partners, The City of Snoqualmie, and Green Snoqualmie Partnership for a Rain Garden Rejuvenation Work Party!
In 2013, Stewardship Partners and partners designed and installed a large rain garden at Centennial Fields. Rain gardens are a beautiful landscape amenity that helps address our region’s single largest water quality threat: runoff pollution. Like a sponge, a rain garden allows stormwater runoff to be soaked up and to filter out pollutants while recharging groundwater, rather than flooding the Snoqualmie River.
This work includes maintenance tasks such as weeding, removing blackberries, mulching, and planting native trees and shrubs!
All ages OK
1 out of 20 participants registered.
What to Bring
Coffee, water, and some snacks will be provided. Bring your own water bottle (full) and your own coffee mug if you’d like. Gloves will be provided (bring your own if you can), supervision and an overview of the work you will be doing.
It is suggested that you dress in layers, including long pants, long-sleeved shirt, and a jacket. Sturdy footwear such as work boots, mud boots, hiking boots or running shoes is recommended. Please come prepared for the weather by bringing rain gear if you have it, and older clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty or muddy.
Where to Meet
Centennial Fields Park – 39903 SE Park Street, Snoqualmie, WA 98065
Where to Park
Plenty of Parking at this location, very near the rain garden site.

These volunteer events are part of a broader effort to preserve Snoqualmie’s forests and natural spaces for future generations. By restoring native ecosystems and addressing the spread of invasive plants, the Green Snoqualmie Partnership continues a long tradition of community stewardship in the Valley while giving residents a chance to spend time outdoors and make a visible difference in their own communities.
