Celebrate Green Issaquah Day with Tree Plantings
Issaquah is gearing up for its annual Green Issaquah Day, which includes three tree planting events aimed at enhancing the city's urban forest. These events will occur at Park Pointe, Anthology Open Space, and East Sunset Way Trailhead, inviting community members to join in on the environmental effort. This initiative aligns with the Issaquah Climate Action Plan's ambitious objective of achieving 55% tree canopy cover by 2035, emphasizing the city's commitment to sustainability. The tree plantings are designed to engage residents of all ages and backgrounds, as no prior experience is required to participate. By planting more trees, the community plays a crucial role in restoring Issaquah's green spaces and combating climate change.
Interested individuals can sign up and learn more about the events through the Green Issaquah website. This event not only strengthens the local ecosystem but also fosters community engagement and environmental stewardship. Residents are encouraged to take part and contribute to a greener future for Issaquah.
