Join City of Issaquah's Forest Steward Training!
Forest Steward Orientation
Issaquah has over 1,500 acres of forested open spaces, encompassing about 20 percent of our city. Maintaining these beautiful and ecologically important areas takes a team of city employees and some amazing volunteers, like the dedicated team of Forest Stewards.
Working closely with Green Issaquah staff, Forest Stewards are provided training in plant identification, ecological restoration best practices, and how to safely lead their own small volunteer events as a part of the Green Issaquah team. This ongoing role makes a big impact within Green Issaquah and fosters a deeper connection and sense of pride for the forested parks of Issaquah!
If you are interested in joining the Green Issaquah team as a volunteer Forest Steward and leading your own projects and events at an “adopted” local park, come join us for orientation. We encourage all that are interested in taking on an ongoing volunteer role to attend. Orientation is free and open to the public.
