Join Mid Sound Fisheries Enhancement Group, in partnership with the City of Kenmore, Confluence Environmental Company, and Sno-King Watershed Council, for habitat restoration at ƛ̕ax̌ʷadis Park on Saturday, July 12, 2025 from 11 AM to 2 PM.
Join Mid Sound and partners on a field trip to the recently restored part of ƛ̕ax̌ʷadis Park. This is a special opportunity to experience part of the park that is normally off-limits to human visitors. We’ll get down off the boardwalk to clear invasive plants away from native plants so they aren’t crowded out!
The event will begin with a brief discussion that includes information about the site, the partnering organizations, why this work is important, tool use, and safety. We will provide work gloves, all instructions, and all tools. Please plan to arrive on time for the start of the event and allow extra time to find parking.

We will spend the event time doing maintenance activities starting at the south-end of our Sammamish River restoration site in Woodinville. This will include weeding a variety of invasive species and freeing young native plantings so they can thrive during this growing season. Maintenance is a really important task during the summer season and we appreciate the help volunteers like you bring!
