| Date: November 21 Time: 10:00 AM–12:00 PM Meeting Location: Sunset Beach Bathhouse and Picnic Area, Lake Sammamish State Park
Join Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park (FLSSP) for our November restoration volunteer event! We’ll have two work groups to choose from, offering opportunities to care for the park’s natural spaces, learn about local restoration efforts, and make a positive impact on this special place.
Registration is required so we can plan accordingly, but this event is free and open to the public! Please note that a Washington State Discover Pass is required for vehicle access to the state park and can be purchased when you enter the park.
Group 1: Rain Garden Maintenance Join FLSSP leadership to help maintain Lake Sammamish State Park’s vital rain gardens! You’ll get hands-on experience caring for these important features while learning how rain gardens help manage stormwater and support a healthy park ecosystem.
Group 2: Tree Planting Get your hands dirty and help grow the future of Lake Sammamish State Park! Join us in planting trees and supporting the park’s natural ecosystem as we head into the rainy season.
