Company Service Project at Squak Valley Park
During the last week of October, The Watershed Company volunteered with Mountains to Sound Greenway to plant native trees and shrubs at Squak Valley Park North. Despite intermittent rain, our crew of 20 had a great time and planted 483 plants!
Over the past year, our scientists and landscape architects helped the City of Issaquah design a final stream and wetland restoration plan that improves salmonid habitat and meets nearby homeowner concerns about flooding. Learn more about our work on our Squak Valley Park project page.
We helped with planting across the creek from the park proper, where a newly-created backwater will help prevent flooding in the area.

Environmental planner Amy doesn't mind getting a little mud on her face for a good cause.
Landscape architect Courtney enjoyed planting at a site that she helped design.
Mountains to Sound Greenway is sponsoring volunteer planting days at Squak Valley Park North throughout winter 2010 and spring 2011 - more details available on their website.
