Volunteer with Mid Sound Fisheries Enhancement Group on the King County Parks-owned Middle Bear Creek Natural Area to restore Chinook salmon habitat!

Bear Creek and Monticello Creek flow through this patch of riparian forest, and Mid Sound is helping to complete maintenance in the understory. Overtime, invasive species including Himalayan Blackberry have encroahed into the forest and are competing with native species. Mid Sound and King County Parks have partnered to remove these weeds, and now we need your helping filling in the gaps with new plants!

We will spend our day planting ‘bareroot’ native trees and shrubs to supplement the existing understory and create a healthy, resilient riparian habitat for our salmon.

When you regiter you will receive a confirmation email from VolunteerMatch. On the Wednesday before the event (3/12/2025) you will recive an email from Mid Sound with details on parking, site access, schedule, and saftey infomation.

***If you are under 18 and attending without a parent/ guardian and this is your first Mid Sound event you’ve volunteered at, please print and fill out the King County Parks Youth Waiver Form attached to the confirmation email and bring it with you to the event!***
