To celebrate National Public Lands Day and kick off our fall volunteer restoration events, Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park is planning a day full of fun for volunteers! Join in the morning to work on one of a few projects, old and new, at the park, and then stay for a Volunteer Appreciation Lunch and activities. Prizes for our #keepyoureyeontherootball contest will be awarded!

Volunteers will have the opportunity to help with invasive species removal, landscaping improvements, and litter pickup.

The two work sites include:

Tibbetts Creek Restoration Area: help us continue to remove invasive species and protect our young native plants by installing protective caging. Participants who take part in grubbing out blackberry rootballs will have a chance to win a “day-of” prize in our #keepyoureyeontherootball contest!

Front Entrance Landscaping Improvements: help us replant the garden at the front entrance to the park, transforming it into a year-round sight to behold!
