Snoqualmie invasive weed project scheduled
June 13, 2012
By Staff
Plant enthusiasts, hikers and others who want to help natural areas are encouraged to join the effort to locate and control invasive plant species in the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Valley and the Snoqualmie Pass Gateway trails.
Middle Fork-South Fork invasive weed project organizers train volunteers to survey along the trails of the Middle Fork Snoqualmie Valley and in the upper South Fork Snoqualmie watershed.
Help survey the area’s trail system for invasive weeds to stop them before they get entrenched. Workers are surveying trails from Mount Si near North Bend to Dutch Miller Gap in the heart of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.
Upcoming orientation:
When: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 23
Where: North Bend Ranger Station, Back Conference Hall,
902 S.E. North Bend Way
What: Training and orientation for volunteer weed surveyors including a survey hike in the Middle Fork Valley
Details: Bring water, lunch, hiking shoes and other hiking essentials. Attendees will carpool from the ranger station and return by 5 p.m.
