SUMMARY:4/11/2026 - Salmon Habitat Restoration Volunteer Event on Sammamish River\, Woodinville
DESCRIPTION:Join Mid Sound Fisheries Enhancement Group on the King County Parks-owned West Sammamish River Trail to restore salmon habitat! We will spend the event time removing invasive species and sheet mulching the riverbank so that recently planted native trees and shrubs can thrive! Please sign up through the Idealist website. You will receive a confirmation email immediately upon registration and a reminder email on April 8th\, the Wednesday before the event\, with event details (parking\, event location\, packing list\, etc.). \nFor participants under 18: if you plan to volunteer without your parent/ guardian and this is your first time volunteering with Mid Sound Fisheries\, you need to print and have your parent sign 2 waivers. \nYouth waivers are available on Mid Sound’s website here: https://www.midsoundfisheries.org/west-sammamish-river-trail-revegetation/ \nPlease review the below information before attending the event:\nEvent Location: West Sammamish River Trail\, Woodinville \n15000 Redmond – Woodinville Rd NE #800\, Woodinville\, WA 98072 \nThank you for volunteering with Mid Sound! Please read through this document so we are as prepared as possible for our time together. \nOur events run rain or shine\, but in the event of hazardous weather like severe wind\, cold\, heat or smoke the Mid Sound staff member leading your event will be in contact via email the morning to officially cancel the event. Plan to check your email before you leave so you receive any updates. If you are a group lead\, please be sure you have set up a way to contact your group members the morning of the event if needed. \nNative Land: \nWe acknowledge that this work takes place on the occupied\, traditional land of the Coast Salish People who have cared for this land since time immemorial. We recognize that we are not the first stewards of this land and water\, and are contributing to the important legacy of this work. \nTo find out more about Native Land\, check out this interactive map: https://native-land.ca/ \nHow Your Volunteer Service Helps Salmon and Their Ecosystems: \nPuget Sound salmon are in trouble. Two populations of salmonid species in the Sammamish River (Chinook and Steelhead) are listed as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act. A key problem for Sammamish River salmon is high water temperatures. Planting native trees and shrubs along the banks of the river creates canopy cover and shade\, cooling water temperatures. To be able to plant trees we must first remove invasive plants that can outcompete newly planted native trees. Thriving forests and shorelines provide many benefits to our communities as well\, like filtering pollution\, mitigating erosion and storm damage\, and providing places for wildlife to live and for us to connect with nature. \nWhat to Expect: \nWhen you arrive\, we will have you (or your parent/guardian) sign in and then gather for an introduction circle. Once we are on the same page with safety and protocols for the day\, we will spend time on various restoration tasks that change with the seasons. During fall and winter events we remove invasive species\, plant native trees and shrubs\, and spread mulch\, which helps maintain moisture around native plants and reduces the opportunity for invasive plants to regrow. During late Spring and Summer we do maintenance weed removal in sections of the site that were recently planted. The invasive weed removal is similar to weeding a vegetable garden\, as weeds are removed we protect young native plants and will create space to add more plants in the future. For all of these tasks volunteers will use tools provided by Mid Sound\, including shovels\, rakes\, tarps\, hand snippers\, and more. \nWhat to Bring: \n\nLayers of clothing that can get dirty\, that will keep you warm\, and will keep you dry\n\nLong sleeves and thick pants to protect against thorny plants and weather (shorts not recommended)\nJacket\nHat\nRain Jacket/ Rain Pants\n\n\nClosed-toe shoes are required! (ex: rain boots and hiking boots. No sandals\, heels\, or flats)\nA reusable water bottle\n\nWhat we will Provided: \n\nWater and light snacks will be provided\, please bring extra snacks or a lunch if needed.\nWork gloves\nAll necessary tools and equipment\nFirst-Aid Kit\n\nYouth: \nYoung people under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Any minors under the age of 18 attending the event without a parent or legal guardian must also bring a printed copy of their signed Mid Sound Youth Waiver and the King County Parks Youth Waiver to the event in order to participate. \nParking: 15000 Redmond – Woodinville Rd NE #800\, Woodinville\, WA 98072 \nPlease park in the Soulteach Ultrasound parking lot\, located ​inside the large business complex next to the restoration site. ​ Click here to see a map of how to get from the parking lot to the ​restoration site. \nBathrooms: Bike Pump & Bathrooms\, 14580 NE 145th St\, Woodinville\, WA 98072 \nThe nearest public restrooms are located at the North Shore Athletic Fields\, about a 15 minute walk or a 5 minute drive from the restoration site. There are 2 porta potties at the NSAF parking lot\, and a facility with running water just a 1 minute walk north on the paved trail. \nSafety: \n\nPersonal Protective Equipment at all times: Gloves\, closed toed shoes\, sturdy clothes\, etc.\nEnvironmental Hazards: Look up and around for hazards such as branches\, roots\, holes\, slopes\, etc.\nOther Park Users: Watch for walkers\, runners\, dogs\, bikes\, etc. and make space on trails for them to pass.\nStinging Insects: Bees\, wasps\, mosquitos\, etc. will be active. If you have any allergies to these\, we ask that you let a staff member know as a heads up\, just in case.\nLitter: Keep an eye out for litter as we work.
