Join Mid Sound Fisheries Enhancement Group on the King County Parks-owned Middle Bear Creek Natural Area to restore salmon habitat! Come learn about the vibrant riparian ecosystems in our urban backyard!

We will spend the day clearing invasive weeds, such as Himalayan Blackberry, from the creek shoreline and forest understory to create a healthy riparian habitat. Bear Creek and Monticello Creek flow through this small forest, and their confluence is on site. Confluences are very important areas where waterways meet. For salmon, they provide access to spawning grounds and are sources of cold water they need.

Mid Sound helped to replanted the understory of this riparian forest in the winter of 2025, and now we need help clearing invasive weeds like Himalayan Blackberry to support the establishment of these new native plants.

Upon signing up you will receive a confirmation email. On the Wednesday before the event (4/30/2025) you will receive an email with details on site access, schedule, and safety information.
