Join the Issaquah Alps Trails Club and Green Issaquah for an invasive species removal event at Park Pointe! We will be removing invasive species such as Himalayan blackberry bushes to prepare for our fall planting event. These invasive plants inhibit the growth of native plants, and removing them will ensure the longevity and health of our newest additions. This event is part of our ongoing efforts to help meet the Issaquah Climate Action Plan goal of 55% tree canopy cover by 2035.
