Community Restoration Work Party at BelRed and 40th Stormwater Pond
March 16 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
Join us for a community restoration work party as we transform the humble stormwater pond at BelRed and 40th into a vibrant public preserve. With blooming flowers and native plants, we’ll create a peaceful space where people can connect with nature, wildlife can flourish, and clean water flows to Lake Sammamish!
Whether you’d like to plant flowers, water native plants, help with light tasks (or snacks), or simply enjoy the fresh air and good company, there’s a way for everyone to be part of this meaningful project. Come connect with nature, meet neighbors, and help create a space where both people and wildlife can thrive!
