National Trails Day event to build new trails
May 22, 2013
Come celebrate National Trails Day with other people who enjoy trails and the outdoors. In partnership with the Mountains to Sound Greenway, volunteers will continue construction of Mailbox Peak Trail in North Bend, according to a press release from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources.
Volunteers will work from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 1 at Mailbox Peak Trail in North Bend.
Volunteers needed to control noxious weeds
May 22, 2013
Uncontrolled weeds can be a death sentence for native plants. Oxeye daisy can monopolize alpine meadows, English ivy will cover forest canopies and Japanese knotweed will choke creek-side vegetation, according to a press release from the United States Department of Agriculture.
The Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and Washington Department of Natural Resources have teamed up with the Mountaineers and King County Noxious Weed Program to train volunteers to find invasive plants on trails.
