Today, volunteers will plant native trees and shrubs. There may be some restoration site maintenance on past planting areas by clearing the area of invasive plants, digging out blackberry roots and preparing the sites for planting. The project site may be located on relatively rough terrain and there is a fair amount of walking involved.
Wallace Acres is a historic dairy farm located between Carnation and Duvall, WA. Now, primarily used as a pasture for livestock, the property features an oxbow lake and prime fish and wildlife habitat along the Snoqualmie River. Stewardship Partners has been restoring and maintaining the habitat buffers for more than a decade and recently was awarded funding to provide livestock exclusion fencing and to restore 3,000’ of riparian habitat.
Directions: Wallace Acres is located approximately 30 miles northeast of downtown Seattle.
