Join the Issaquah Alps Trails Club and Green Issaquah we continue our restoration efforts at Park Pointe. We will be removing invasive species, primarily blackberry bushes, to protect the forest and clear space to plant trees. Planting more trees will help us meet our Issaquah Climate Action Plan goal of 55% tree canopy cover by 2035.
